H.R. 2389 - Pledge Protection Act

The Pledge of Allegiance should be protected from federal court activism.

Constitutional Vote: Yes

Vote Date: July 19, 2006

The Pledge Protection Act of 2005 (H.R. 2389) would counter judicial activism to prevent the removal of the words “under God” from the pledge by restricting federal courts from hearing cases on this matter, as opposed to protecting the pledge by amending the Constitution.

The House passed H.R. 2389 on July 19, 2006 by a vote of 260-167. (Roll Call 385). We have assigned pluses to the yeas because H.R. 2389 would protect the Pledge of Allegiance from federal court activism.
