On Second Thought

...it's probably best that the Pledge case go before the Supreme Court (assuming "cert" is granted). For one thing, a likely reversal will once again show how incredibly out of touch the Ninth Circuit is with the law and Constitution. Second, the SCOTUS will be given a chance to provide more clarification on the fact that government sponsorship of religious expressions (e.g., state legislatures retaining chaplains to give invocations) does not constitute, and is distinguishable from, an establishment of religion. Third, the SCOTUS can definitively eliminate the silly notion that saying something with "God" in it automatically turns the utterance into a religious act.
