supreme court wimps out...
Jun. 14th, 2004 10:53 amrather than decide the *important* issue that we really need to have resolved in this particular day and age, the court wimped out. they rejected the whole case of the "under god" thing, deciding that the father didn't have a strong enough custody situation to warrent even filing the case in the first place.
"Under God" stands, on a technicality, because the judges up there decided it was more important to not piss off half the country (whichever half they might have voted for) than to actually make a decision they were appointed to actually make.
details (without my commentary, of course) can be found at pretty much any news site. standard press (aka, "the liberal media") will complain about the lack of true resolution. i wouldn't be surprised if murdock's fox news called it a "moral victory".
