Fortunately, we have the ACLU to fight religious nonsense.


Funny that when "under God" was added to the pledge in 1954 the ACLU
had no objections. They thought it was just fine.

Yup Harry's people always say these are recent things and it is true
"Under God" in the pledge and "in God We Trust" on paper money came in
the mid 50s (although it has been on coins since the Civil War).
The thing they ignore is the stretching of the establishment clause to
include the states did not come until the 60s by the Warren court, 100
years after the 14th amendment was ratified. It took a century to
think that one up. It is the new kid on the street so to speak.
The open question might be how would the Roberts court rule,
particularly if Trump gets to replace Ginsberg.
