It really depends on the court and the justices thereon. If it is already wrong to require the recitation of the pledge (according to the courts), why did it make it this far?

If the court does rule (as it should) that "Under God" added in 1954 under the McCarthy era (if you aren't Christian you are a Communist and should be arrested); then will the "In God We Trust" be removed from our coinage? I personally find that more offensive (it is easier to not say those words than to not use money).

However, no matter which way the court goes, there will probably be some outcry. I hope that they follow the quote that [livejournal.com profile] dglenn posted
    "Religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.
"
-- James Madison, fourth president of the U.S.
