One Nation, Indivisible

"Dr. Newdow, 50, often spoke very rapidly but never appeared to lose his footing during the 30 minutes the court gave him. He managed a trick that far more experienced lawyers rarely accomplish: to bring the argument to a symmetrical and seemingly unhurried ending just as the red light comes on.
'There's a principle here,' he told the justices in his closing moments, 'and I'm hoping the court will uphold this principle so that we can finally go back and have every American want to stand up, face the flag, place their hand over their heart and pledge to one nation, indivisible, not divided by religion, with liberty and justice for all.'
"

I'm happy to see this case brought before the Surpreme Court, although I have little hope in the outcome. The separation of Church and State in the US has always been something of a joke and the Bubba administration hasn't helped this any.
