The court found the reciting of the pledge by teachers and students amounts to a government endorsement of religion, going so far as to compare the phrase "under God" with "under Zeus." Just last month this radical court said certain people could smoke marijuana on federal lands if it is part of their religion. We need to end the judicial crisis and place the men and women of distinction who President Bush has nominated on the bench. While the president continues to nominate responsible jurists, Democrats in the Senate continue to play partisan games. Scott Woltersdorf Vacaville - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
