A victory for law and common sense:
It’s a “victory for plain old common sense,” says a legal group in describing a court decision to keep the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The case before the First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would have stopped recitation of the Pledge in New Hampshire’s schools. But Eric Rassbach with The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty tells OneNewsNow the court gave a solid ruling late last week.
“They rejected what is the latest in a series of attacks on the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance — and specifically [targeting] the words ‘under God,'” the attorney explains…
As per usual, a group of anti-religious nit wits had brought suit holding that saying “under God” in the pledge violates the “separation of Church and State” – a thing which exists nowhere in the United States Constitution. Liberals, naturally, don’t care what is actually in there – and all too often find judges willing to agree. Here, fortunately, they ran up against some judges who, quite simply, refused to be stupid.
Still, we do need a Religious Liberty Restoration Act which would permit people to engage in religious practices – essentially, a law to enforce the First Amendments assurance of the right to freely exercise religion. We need to shut down the bigoted, anti-religious fanatics who would leave our public square naked of all that is decent…of all, that is, which makes our civilization worthy and vibrant.
