Pledge found unconstitutional
Try as I may, I just can't get hot and bothered by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco decision that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. Sure, I think it was a bit silly, but it will be overturned (by courts or legislation.) If you really want to complain, the Republicans make it really easy to complain to your local paper in this creative web page. But what does bother me is that politicians are tripping over themselves to gain political advantage by condemning this action and have already passed a resolution condemning the decision. Don't these folks have better things to do right now? After all, there is a war on.
