| Court rejects Pledge of Allegiance "One nation under God" violates Constitution, judges say June 26,2002 - A federal appeals court declared the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional Wednesday, finding that the words �under God� amounted to an endorsement of religion. Reaction to the ruling, which President Bush called �ridiculous,� was swift, as the Senate voted 99 to 0 to urge the court to reverse itself and a House member introduced a constitutional amendment to preserve the pledge as written. |
| Pledge of Allegiance I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. |
