Last week, the House passed the Pledge Protection Act, a bill providing that "No court created by Act of Congress shall have any jurisdiction, and the Supreme Court shall have no appellate jurisdiction, to hear or decide any question pertaining to the interpretation of, or the validity under the Constitution of, the Pledge of Allegiance[.]"
Democratic Representative Stephanie Herseth voted to support the bill. Should the bill come up for a vote in the Senate in the next few weeks, Herseth's support for it will place Senator Daschle in a box, much as Senator Johnson's support of the flag amendment has placed Daschle in a box on that particular issue.
