The Gamut

The House passed legislation Thursday that would prevent the Supreme Court from ruling on whether the words "under God" should be stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance.



In a politically and emotionally charged debate, Democrats said majority Republicans in the chamber were debasing the Constitution in order to force a vote that could hurt Democrats in the election.


Supporters insisted that Congress has always had authority to limit federal court jurisdiction, and the legislation is needed to protect an affirmation of religion that is part of the national heritage.

I Pledge Allegiance to the Christian God-fearing flag of the non-Islamic anti-atheistic United States of America, and to the Bible-based Republic for which it stands, one Nation under Lord Jehova,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all unless you don't also believe in our one true God.
