Ninth Circuit Court Upholds "Under God" in Pledge

Yes. That Ninth Circuit court! The most liberal, the most overturned court in the land and in a two to one decision, the Ninth Circuit, sometimes held in derision as the "Ninth Circus" court turned down atheist Michael Newdow's attempt to have "Under God" removed on the basis of "separation of church and state".

SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal appeals court upheld the use of the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance and "In God We Trust" on U.S. currency, rejecting arguments Thursday that the phrases violate the separation of church and state.

The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel rejected two legal challenges by Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow, who said the references to God are unconstitutional and infringe on his religious beliefs.

Could this be yet another sign of the Apocalypse? The Ninth Circuit making a common sense ruling?
