(Washington, DC--June 28, 2002) Yesterday President Bush denounced the common sense San Francisco court ruling that decided children should not have to feel coerced to give false statements of sectarian belief in public school. With this decision by the court, there is now a hope that the Pledge of Allegiance can be returned to its original form, without the "under God" wording that the Knights of Columbus lobbied successfully for in the 1950s.

Bush then went on to establish a criterion of particular religious belief for judicial appointments, saying, "I believe that it points up the fact that we need common sense judges who understand that our rights were derived from God. Those are the kind of judges I intend to put on the bench."

----

I think the US needs a common sense president, pronto.
