I can't tell what's being hurled at that judge from the clown court, but I hope it's fire and brimstone. Anything else would be useless. 'Tis just 'round the corner for these clowns to be facing the final Judge. say amen: AMEN. Juice

Federal Appellate Courts typically sit in panels of three judges (except on those relatively rare occasions when they sit en banc (i.e. all sit at the same time). When a panel decides an issue of law, under the doctrine of stare decisis, the decision becomes the law of the circuit.
The U.S. Supreme Court often takes cases to resolve a disagreement among the circuits.
However, the Ninth Circuit is the only circuit that I am aware of that actually has inter-panel conflicts on points of law.
Pretty messy, that. - 4/21/06, 9:01 PM

_Technically_ the "under God" portion is against The Constitution. It was added by Congress in 1953 as an "anti-Communist statement" to affirm that America believed in God, which the Communists did not. That's what the 1st A forbids - Congress can't do that. But the school systems could.
Personally, I think the way to solve it is to privatize *all* education. It would eliminate the problem as the FedGov would no longer be running the school, so religion and speech and dress codes would become private matters - not enforcements of the FedGov, which is governed by the 1A. I'll write my theory and proposal some day...
