the ninth circuit

[Nathan Newman]

There's going to be a lot of outrage but the official "under God" is so
obviously more a violation of the Establishment Clause than the more
marginal issues like student-led prayers at football games or other issues
the Supreme Court has been deciding for years.

As I noted, I generally think the establishment cases probably went too far
in some cases, notably the "moments of silence" and other decisions, but if
an official moment of silence can be knocked down as unconstitutional,
"under God" is obviously out of bounds.

I'm sure the Supreme Court won't be thrilled to get this case, but I just
don't quite see how they can torture the logic to keep it after all the
other cases they've done.
