Red meat for the soc con base no doubt. "For more than 50 years, the National Motto has been the law of the land. While some have questioned its constitutionality, none of these challenges has succeeded. We wonder, therefore, why the Majority believes this precatory intervention by Congress is so necessary."
"By aggressively pursuing a vehicle that places the government in the position of making an affirmatively religious statement, the Majority has transgressed the clear line between government and religion in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment."

From my link in my other thread:Beyond the historical issues, Obama noted the economic value of Fort Monroe's designation as a national monument. He said local officials have estimated that a plan for reusing the site would help create nearly 3,000 jobs in next-door Virginia.

Yeah. Wall St and their water-carriers in Washington, from both sides of the aisle, had nothing to do w/ itThe Democrats took control of the country in January 2007 & massively increased government debt, spending & regulations. They destroyed our jobs.

Your not very good at backpedaling stef
I think there are quite few Republican congressman that need to say they did do something in Washington and what better way to impress the Tea Party than to put "In God We Trust" on every government building. If the court shoots it down, then that strengthens the resolve to pack the courts with conservative judges.Is there no limit to the non-jobs bills the Repubs take up?
First Read - House to vote on making 'In God We Trust' nation's motto

True, a frightening prospect.I think there are quite few Republican congressman that need to say they did do something in Washington and what better way to impress the Tea Party than to put "In God We Trust" on every government building.

Official White House Response to Edit the Pledge of Allegiance to remove the phrase "Under God".
By Joshua DuBois
The separation of church and state outlined in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is an important founding principle of our nation. Our nation's Bill of Rights guarantees not only that the government cannot establish an official religion, but also guarantees citizens' rights to practice the religion of their choosing or no religion at all.
Throughout our history, people of all faiths as well as secular Americans have played an important role in public life. And a robust dialogue about the role of religion in public life is an important part of our public discourse.
While the President strongly supports every American's right to religious freedom and the separation of church and state, that does not mean there's no role for religion in the public square.
When he was a Senator from Illinois, President Obama gave a keynote address at the Call to Renewal conference where he spoke about the important role religion plays in politics and in public life.
A sense of proportion should also guide those who police the boundaries between church and state. Not every mention of God in public is a breach to the wall of separation - context matters.
That's why President Obama supports the use of the words "under God' in our Pledge of Allegiance and "In God we Trust' on our currency. These phrases represent the important role religion plays in American public life, while we continue to recognize and protect the rights of secular Americans. As the President said in his inaugural address, "We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and non-believers." We're proud of that heritage, and the strength it brings to our great country.
