"What did everyone think of the Pledge? Does it abridge civil liberties? Is it a blatantly political move by a conservative government in the face of an upcoming presidential election? Your call, not mine."
1st: Giving people the option to say the pledge or not does not abridge civil liberties because you can choose your course of action.
2nd: The bill had broad support from conservatives and liberals, so it was not a political move by a "conservative government"
3rd: The vote had nothing to do with the presidential election because it was passed on the state level, so they really are not affected if Bush is elected or not.
