Pledge ruled unconstitutional
A federal appeals court today ruled the Pledge of Allegiance is an unconstitutional "endorsement of religion" because of the addition of the phrase "under God" in 1954 by Congress. In its ruling, the court said, "The Pledge, as currently codified, is an impermissible government endorsement of religion."
