Pledge Protection Act headed for defeat Sept. 27th

Rex Curry

The "Pledge Protection Act" might be over before it starts. On September 27th, the U.S. Supreme Court will confer about a case urging that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. The case is Wonschik v. U.S. at http://rexcurry.net/pledgewonschik.html

It is a race to see which happens first.

A motion to recuse might result in the recusal of the entire U.S. Supreme Court. The motion expands arguments that resulted in the recusal of Justice Scalia. It is the first time in history that a motion to recuse addressed each Justice. It is at the same url above.

Research is being conducted about judges who make jurors chant the Pledge. Please help, and circulate the following email address, and send information about Pledge activity in courthouses: lawyer@rexcurry.net

The renowned NACDL (National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers) filed an amicus brief in Wonschik that can be viewed at http://rexcurry.net/pledgenacdl.html

Another Amicus brief is at http://rexcurry.net/pledgewonschik.html

The research also seeks interviews with anyone who chanted the Pledge in school using the Pledge's original straight-arm salute. Eye-popping historic photos are at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html

Most people have never seen those photographs and most never will. Most media suppress the history of the Pledge because it is so unlibertarian, even though the media droned on about the earlier pledge litigation wash-out.

The research project also seeks information on any Pledge litigation anywhere, regarding pledges in schools or courts. For example, complaints have been filed against two Judges who led jurors in chants in California. http://rexcurry.net/pledgecomplaints.html

The Pledge is becoming disfavored as more judges learn that the Pledge was written by a self-proclaimed national socialist in the U.S. and originally used a straight-arm salute. Litigation about the Pledge has already led to the historic discovery that government schools in the U.S. were the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) via the Pledge's original Nazi-like performance. The claim that it was an old Roman salute is a myth. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

The Pledge inspired persecution and mob violence in the past as in the aftermath of Minersville School District v. Gobitis, a Supreme Court decision.

Some Congressmen who support the authoritarian Pledge are trying to end U.S. Supreme Court jurisdiction to hear Pledge cases. The Wonschik case might be the Court’s last chance to address the antidisestablishmentarianism.
