I agree, but I believe the offending judge in this case was a Nixon appointee.

I thought it was a 3 judge panel.

NO BIG DEAL.

Just go back to the way the pledge was before 1954 when Eisenhower added the "under god" phrase in 1954.

What's the controversy??

I believe the offending judge in this case was a Nixon appointee.

Who ever accused Nixon of being a conservative? In addition to imposing wage and price controls, just review the legislation he signed and his executive orders. He caused half the mess we're in today. We can thank him for the EPA, the Endangered Species Act, a host of other restrictive environmental bills including bans on offshore oil drilling, and a witch's-brew of affirmative action silliness. Domestically, he was one of the worst presidents in my lifetime.

That may be the case, however factor in age, senility, just plain stupidity and living on the left coast.
