    constitutional, unconstitutional, what freedoms do you support?

    To me, it matters little if the Pledge is unconstitutional. I've always felt its a citizens CHOICE whether or not they want to recite the Pledge, live their life by it, just like its our choice to be religious, athiest, racist, sexist, heterosexual, homosexual, whatever. Religion, politics...
