You guys and girls might remember a Kentucky law trying to enforce the department of homeland security to swear on God, and so on. I couldn't find the original thread to do some evil druid necromancy, using my acolytes to summon in from the demon realm(I played way to much Warcraft), but anyways.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - It is one thing to trust in God, but quite another to be ordered to rely on protection from above during national emergencies, a judge has ruled.

Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate said in Wednesday's decision that references to a dependence on "Almighty God" in the law that created the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security is akin to establishing a religion, which the government is prohibited from doing in the U.S. and Kentucky constitutions. Ten Kentucky residents and a national atheist group sued to have the reference stricken.

Amen!

It's sad that it took a federal court of appeal and years of litigation just to reach this most obvious point.

I wonder how long it would have taken if the oath had required them to say "Allah Akbar".

It is even sadder, despite the entire sequence, that such laws are being made, given clear guidelines in the United States constitution. Complete waste of time and energy from legislatures, from writing it, to passing it, trying to enforce it, to as well as judicial repeals.

It's helps the poor destitute lawyers of this great nation. :)
