They are the most disgusting and stupid bunch of Repuke monkeys I have ever heard of. Don't they understand that THEY DON'T HAVE THIS AUTHORITY? Jeez.

Hey boys, read the Constitution. Start with the part about the 3 branches of government and how they work. Really, didn't I learn this in the 5th grade?

"House Blocks Supreme Court on Pledge Case Rulings

Thu Sep 23, 2:32 PM ET

By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The House passed legislation Thursday that would prevent the Supreme Court from ruling on whether the words "under God" should be stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance.

In a politically and emotionally charged debate, Democrats said majority Republicans in the chamber were debasing the Constitution in order to force a vote that could hurt Democrats in the election.

The bill, which was passed 247-173, would prohibit federal courts, including the Supreme Court, from hearing cases involving the pledge and its recitation and would prevent federal courts from striking the words "under God" from the pledge."
