I actually hope the USSC rules in favor of the Pledge of Allegiance
Advertisements [?]
Why? Because they will likely render their ruling in October, right in the middle of Ground Zero of the campaign. If the Court sides with Newdow, the atheist, the American public will have an absolute cow. It will also play right into the hands of the Bush campaign, while causing Kerry to alienate his liberal base by being forced to denounce the decision with squishy statements. Newdow may be right on the facts, but we also have to deal in the real world. Nor has anyone convinced me that his daughter is a victim akin to that of the black schoolchildren who were segregated 50 years ago. I'm sorry, but the issue of two words in the Pledge of Allegiance is simply not worth losing the election over. The Right can have their "Under God", if Kerry can have the White House.
