Mathew Staver, JD Biography
- Title:
- Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should the Words “under God” Be in the US Pledge of Allegiance?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Day after day we have recited the Pledge from the classroom to the stateroom, from private meetings to public events, and not once has it tended to establish a religion. Today’s ruling [Newdow v. U.S. Congress] illustrates why we need judges who are umpires applying settled law rather than activists intent on imposing their own ideology.”
