Ms. Wasserman Schultz, you are exactly right. It wasn't that they didn't like the answer, because it went to the appeals court and the court ended up ruling in their favor, that ``under God'' should stay in the Pledge. But they didn't like the question, which is so typical down here, Mr. Delahunt. They don't like the questions that people are asking, whether it is at President Bush's press conferences or having a hearing and asking questions about what is going on in Iraq or Katrina or with gas prices or what the oil companies are doing. When you have an elected body in a democracy that stops liking the questions, we are losing the basic fundamental aspect.
