Slate's Jurisprudence: Court Keeps God in Pledge

By Alex Chadwick
Published June 14, 2004 at 12:00 AM EDT

NPR's Alex Chadwick talks to Slate legal affairs analyst Dahlia Lithwick about the latest Supreme Court ruling on the Pledge of Allegiance. The Court on Monday ruled against a California atheist's legal challenge to remove the phrase "under God" in the pledge -- but dodged the broader question of separation of church and state, by basing the ruling on a technicality.
