Summary
WASHINGTON, June 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Members of the African- American leadership network Project 21 commend the U.S. Supreme Court for dismissing a decision forcing the removal of "one nation, under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance recited by children in public schools in the West. They caution, however, that the effort to alter the Pledge is far from over. Project 21 members note activist judges make it all too likely the High Court will be forced to rule on this issue in the near future.
"What's really at the heart of this case is judicial activism," said Project 21 member Mychal Massie. "Liberals are using courts to enact a radical agenda that cannot be passed in the legislature. In this case, the Supreme Court essentially chastised a lower court for overstepping its bounds in letting an estranged parent use his daughter to pursue a political agenda. The lower court was effectively silencing the child to achieve a political goal."See the full content of this document
