Pledge of Allegiance judge

The Pledge of Allegiance has been ruled unconstitutional by U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton of California. Here's a quick primer on Karlton, a Carter appointee:

Judge Karlton has also ruled in favor of the rights of Muslim prisoners, and against water rights for farmers in California in order to protect a fish. In May of this year, Judge Karlton ruled that 700 miles of trails had to be closed to off-road vehicles, and in August he ruled that a city could not close hotels because of code violations. In another decision, Judge Karlton shut down a fire reduction project in a National Forest because it ignored the environmental impact of the project. In 2001, Karlton overturned the conviction and death penalty sentence for a man who shot a woman and then allowed her to bleed to death.

Hmmm...he sounds an awful lot like nearly every Democrat in Oregon.
