"The Ninth Circuit judges who struck down the Pledge may be the most unpopular people in America right now. There's just one catch: They're right. "
"Oh, there is no doubt that the great majority of the American people are comfortable with keeping the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Or that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals' decision will be overturned one way or another. Or that the ruling hands the religious right an easy political win. Or that the nation should be focusing on more important things .... "
"If there's a political consensus in the U.S. to say, "The majority rules, and the majority believes in God, so the rest of you should just stand by quietly while we haul our God into the daily Pledge of Allegiance," then let's acknowledge that squarely, rather than pretend that no one is excluded by the choice."
