The U.S Constitution and our American Heritage is under attack, again. The California atheist, Michael Newdow, who filed suit to remove "under God" from the "Pledge of Allegiance" is at it again!
He is suing to remove "In God We Trust" from all of our currency in the most liberal-left activist Federal Court, the infamous 9th Circuit. "In God We Trust" has been on our currency for over 141 years. The U.S. Congress approved incorporating "In God We Trust" into the new design of our currency on April 22, 1864.
In an article recently published by CNSNews.com, Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the conservative American Center for Law and Justice, called Newdow’s new lawsuit "another attempt to use the legal system to remove a legitimate reference to the religious heritage of America."
"Mere acknowledgment of God by the government cannot be said to be ‘establishment of religion,’ such that it would violate the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution," Sekulow said. "The nation’s history is replete with examples of acknowledgment of religious belief in the public sector."
Therefore, "our national motto, ‘In God We Trust,’ is not only permissible, but constitutional as well," Sekulow added, noting that the Supreme Court has on several occasions referenced the national motto as a legitimate expression of our religious heritage.
In response to this new attack on the reference of God, is being meet by may conservative groups who are mobilizing to against Newdow. The American Family Association is urging all Americans to sign their petition urging Congress to re-introduce Rep. Chip Pickering’s constitutional amendment. The AFA says Newdow is trying to make atheism the established religion of the United States.
The Family Research Council is also warning about the activist judges, especially the very liberal-left 9th U.S. Federal Circuit Court, who could make Newdow and others like him lethal against the U.S. Constitution.
