The New York Times > Washington > House Passes Court Limits on Pledge
“The Republican-led House of Representatives approved a measure on Thursday that would bar federal courts from ruling on the text of the Pledge of Allegiance.”
WHAT?
This is essentially Congress saying, “We know what we’re trying to do is unconstitutional but that’s okay — we’ll just pass a law saying no one can call us on it!”
On the plus side, one representative did propose an amendment (which was not passed) allowing some schools to opt out, citing Circle School v. Pappert. It’s not every day one’s alma mater is mentioned on the floor of the House.
