The 9th Circut (or circus) Court strikes again! The San Francisco "mainstream" Federal Judge Lawrence Karlton, appointed by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, ruled the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional because it contained the words "under God."

When asked to comment on his judicial appointee's ruling, former President Carter replied, "DOH!"

I don't want to say I told you so, but as I wrote in my article "Mainstream: in the Liberal Sense" on Tuesday, September 13, 2005, "Since 2000, the ACLU has filed over 100 lawsuits to remove Christianity and God from the public square in America. When the ACLU cannot change the will of the people, they will change the laws of the land."

I would like to add that the ACLU is not alone in the efforts to eradicate God from every facet of American life. The United States 9th Circuit Court is an active advocate of the ACLU agenda.

The following CBS News article confirms what I have been saying for years.

FEDERAL JUDGE PULLS PLUG ON PLEDGE

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14, 2005

(CBS/AP) A federal judge [Lawrence Karlton] in San Francisco has declared it unconstitutional to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools.

The judge, ruling in the second attempt by Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow to have the pledge removed from classrooms, found that the pledge's reference to one nation "under God" violates school children's right to be "free from a coercive requirement to affirm God." Read the full story.
