The judge who declared the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional yesterday has agreed to put his ruling on hold for now.
Federal Appeals Judge Alfred Goodwin stayed his own order from taking effect pending further appeal.
It's now up to the full Ninth U-S Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to decide whether to alter course. It was just yesterday that the federal

The court narrowly approved use of public money for tuition vouchers to send children to private schools.

((The legal argument over school vouchers is over.
In a landmark decision, with a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court ruled government money CAN be used to pay for private education.. including parochial schools.
It's welcome news for families...like the Morenos. Right now they receive money from a foundation to help pay for parochial school. But if the voucher program was available to them...they'd jump at it.

((ROD PAIGE/SECRETARY OF EDUCATION: I BELIEVE THERE IS NO MORE POWERFUL DRIVER OF SCHOOL REFORM THAN A PARENT WHO IS INFORMED AND A PARENT WHO HAS OPTIONS. AND WHAT HAPPENED TODAY EXPANDS OPTIONS FOR PARENTS AND THEREFORE STRENGTHENS THE SYSTEM.))
But opponents argue school vouchers violate the separation of church and state guaranteed in the constitution. They say, even if the program has no religious intent, voucher money is likely be used
overwhelmingly for religious schools.
Leaving public schools... especially those in dire need of fixing... short on funds.
((RALPH NEAS/PEOPLE FOR THE AMERICAN WAY: IT WILL MEAN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DIVERTED FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS INTO SECTARIAN SCHOOLS; THIS IS NOT THE AMERICAN WAY.))
The supreme court says since the money goes directly to the parents, it gives them a choice of parochial or private schools.

Another controversial ruling from the Supreme Court - -also on vote of five to four- -the Justices broadened a random drug testing policy that had previously applied only to student athletes.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
The court says schools can randomly test students who take part in other competitive after-school activities, such as quiz teams.
But the National Education Association says: when there's no prior suspicion of drug use,
randomly testing someone for drugs is an invasion of privacy.
A former Oklahoma high school honor student had challenged the drug testing policy.

Officials say Davis was speeding, and when he tried to change lanes on a curvy portion of Brush Mountain, his rig shifted. He overcorrected, and the rig turned on his side.
The scene is being cleared, but officials say it could be hours before both lanes are open.
No other cars were involved, and Davis was not injured.

If you can stop or slow down that vibration the person doesn't snore as much.
