"Hello, and welcome to the United States, where a pledge of alliangce, is a pledge to our God! Not yours!" Good to know that this is where our priorities are.

WASHINGTON - The House passed a bill Thursday that would prevent the Supreme Court from ruling on whether the words "under God" should be stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance.

In a politically and emotionally charged debate, Democrats said majority Republicans in the chamber were debasing the Constitution in order to force a vote that could hurt Democrats in the election.

Supporters insisted that Congress has always had authority to limit federal court jurisdiction, and the legislation is needed to protect an affirmation of religion that is part of the national heritage.

The bill, which was passed 247-173, would prohibit federal courts, including the Supreme Court, from hearing cases involving the pledge and its recitation and would prevent federal courts from striking the words "under God" from the pledge.

I might be misinterpreting, but I don't believe Congress has the authority to limit what the Supreme Court has the authority to do/hear, only the lesser courts that it has established (district/appeals).
