Federal judge declares Pledge unconstitutional

[Crazed Rabbit]

Coercive requirement?! What's the judge smoking?

Kids are neither 1) required (they can sit, stand, and be silent for the pledge) 2) or coerced (nothing bad will happen if they don't say it). Heck, one of my middle school teachers didn't say it (but then she was a liberal democrat).

The silver lining is that this will force the SCOTUS to decide if its constitutional or not, and not dodge the issue like they did last time. (The storm clouds on the horizon in the silver lining are that they may be stupid and rule it unconstitutional.)

Pretty much zero chance of that happening. I doubt even the most liberal justices have the stones to declare the Pledge unconstitutional. Certainly nowhere near enough of them for a majority.
