“Imagine every morning if the teachers had the children stand up, place their hands over their hearts, and say, ‘We are one nation that denies God exists.’”

A federal judge in Sacramento, California, signed a restraining order today barring the Pledge of Allegiance from three school districts in the city. Michael Newdow, who filed suit on behalf of three unnamed parents and their children, had a similar case dismissed by the Supreme Court last year due to standing. Today’s decision may be brought up in the Roberts nomination hearings, but Roberts may follow Justice Ginsburg’s lead and decline any questions that speak to current issues before the court.
