Thread Name: BS: Pledge of allegiance ruled out! Part 2
Subject: RE: BS: Pledge of allegiance ruled out! Part 2
This is going to the Supreme Court, depend on it. Removing "In God We Trust" from the money has been tried several times, and failed. That makes the prospects for having "under God" removed from the Pledge not good. Besides which, if they did strike "under God", there would be an awful lot of work to do, like deleting it from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, negating the office of chaplin for Congress and the prayer with which sessions of Congress begin, and removing "that word" from several oaths of office for state and national positions. Do you think they're ready to undertake that sort of task? Do you think that it will ever be undertaken?

I have stated no personal opinion, and I am not going to. But realistically, how do you think this will end up?
