ABCNews.com has a breaking news banner that says "Federal Judge finds it unconstitutional to recite pledge of allegiance in public schools". No details up yet.

This should be interesting.

Edit to add: cnn.com has the same thing. Get out the popcorn!

It just disappeared from CNN.com.

Edit: Oh wait, they added it to the National News section. Here is a link to the story.

FOX News still has it. So did the Chicago Sun Times.

This should add some spice to the Roberts nomination hearings.

It is a California judge who made the ruling, saying that he is bound the precedent of the 9th Circuit Court. It should make it to the Supreme Court fairly quickly, I would think.

Indeed. I hope we see some CSS questioning in the hearings, since this is no doubt going to get to SCOTUS.

Newdow is the attorney for the plaintiffs.
