Does Disfellowshipping violate the Constitution?

Tyranny of the Minority
by Oroborus21 inyesterday, a u.s. ninth circuit court of appeals decision ruled that the recitation of the pledge of allegiance is unconstitutional.
in summary, an atheist michael a. newdow, on behalf of his schoolage daughter, challenged the constitutionality of the pledge because it contains the words "under god".

Online love
by StinkyPantz indo you think it's possible to fall in love with someone online?
assuming they give you a real picture of themselves and are honest about themselves.. is it possible to love this person before you meet them?
i'm not talking about the kind of love you share with your friends, i'm talking the real deal.
