Regarding the 9th Circuit Court

Regarding the 9th Circuit Court opinion about the Pledge of Allegiance Bush said “The decision points up the fact that we need common-sense judges who understand that our rights were derived from God.”

Which part of “We, the people” in the Constitution does he not understand. After the American and French revolutions I thought the “Divine Right of Kings” concept had been banished from legal thought.

Sure, Bush is referring to the Declaration of Independence “Endowed by their Creator” line. However our law is based on the Constitution and it’s clear from that document that the people wanted to “form a more perfect union,” not God.
