Elected Official’s Suit Over Pledge of Allegiance, and Over His Having Been Recalled Because He Wouldn’t Say It: By Eugene Volokh on March 14, 2008 4:24 pm I blogged about this case in September 2006, when the district court rejected the official’s claim. The Tenth Circuit just affirmed the district court decision, though mostly on procedural grounds. Thanks to How Appealing for the pointer.
