Pledge of Allegiance Unconstitutional, Court Says
Ok, everyone knows that the 9th Circuit is full of kooks. They are so kooky that no one dare use one of their decisions as prescident in a brief or filing unless you’re in the 9th Circuit. Thus knoweth any lawyer who successfully attended law school and passed a bar.
It is kind of amusing and sick to watch the politicians, many of whom are lawyers (with the noted exception of our Leerless Feeder, I think) pouncing on this for the publicity. I’ve heard it called called everything from amusing to unpatriotic. The last one bothers me a bit, because no matter how kookie it is, the judges on the bench made their decision in light of the wording of the Constitution; rather a patriotic act, in my opinion. For heaven’s sake, Ike added the words “under God”
to the pledge in the late ’50s, well within the lifetimes of many of these guys!

Tomorrow’s the start of a few big days.
All day tomorrow I’m at a seminar on the Student & Exchange Visitor Information System, the nationwide database and tracking system that INS and EDS are trying to implement to track foreign students here in the states. Some basic information about this system can be found on the NAFSA website, but I’ve been able to find little about it on INS’ own site.
After that, we’re on the road to Hanover, NH for my wife’s 10th year college reunion. We both went to Dartmouth College and fell in love with the upper Connecticut River valley, so even though this is a long trip in a short time, it is no hardship for either of us.

So its been a while since I posted. I’m trying to get some ideas and words straight in my head before committing them to he aether. Particularly regarding the proposed Department of Homeland Security. Once I get my wording straight I may risk floating an opinion.
