Interesting that you brought that up UT...

"The declaration of God in the Pledge of Allegiance doesn’t violate rights. As a matter of fact, it’s a confirmation of the fact that we received our rights from God, as proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence."--George W. Bush

To go along with vsp, the concept of "no God" is apparently incredibly hard for most people in this country to grasp.

And now, the judge is staying his decision, opening the possibility of all 11 judges on the panel to review it. The decision would have been stayed for 45 days anyway, but I wonder if the judge did this out of genuine concern or intimidation. I also wonder if Judge Goodwin realized the potential impact of his ruling.
