Is this the same 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals that recently ruled
unconstitutional the phrase "under God" in the Congressionally-endorsed
Pledge of Allegiance?  Are Senators Byrd and Lott and Daschle and all the
rest going to bitch about how stupid the judges are for ruling in this case?
Are they going to call for the judges' removal?  Are O'Reilly and Gallagher
and Reagan and Limbaugh going to bellyache about the judiciary's efforts to
legislate?
The current ruling, I'm sure, is well-justified by precedent, and no doubt
the judges' decision was based on objective reading of the law in general
and The Constitution in particular.  Oh, wait a minute--that's the same way
that they made their ruling on The Pledge, and they were condemned for it!

     Dave!
