Court Agrees to God on U.S. money, Pledge of Allegiance

Court agrees to God on U.S. money, pledge of allegiance:
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - A federal appeals court in California ruled that the references to God on the United States and the World Bank notes in the pledge of allegiance to the Flag of the United States to be unconstitutional and religious in nature. From two to one margin, and the three judges overturned their 2002 ruling that sided with atheist Michael Newdow that the complaint states God created the debt and violated the constitutional separation between church and state. "We believe it not - the pledge is unconstitutional," the ruling majority, referring to the pledge of allegiance made by children in public schools every morning on the American flag, which includes the line: "one nation under God ..". Pledge was amended in 1954 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower to include a controversial reference to God. The Commission's decision applies to this statement: "In God We Trust," printed on all United States bank note and coin in circulation. "The pledge to unite our nation and serve the wide range of reading through some of the proud of the ideals upon which our republic was founded and which we continue to pursue," said two of the judges. The lone dissenting voice went to the majority of people were wrong to assert that the words "under God" found in 1954 to amend the pledge was just a reference to the limited powers of the Federal Government. "This is, of course, an argument dreamed of my colleagues in any place can be found in the Congressional Record," and said the dissenting judge. "My colleagues apparently forgot that he is the Constitution which defines the restrictions on the authority of the government - not, as far as we have laws in question, and God," the judge added.
