Examine the current ethical issues inherent throughout the criminal and civil justice systems. 

Religion and Politics have traditionally been highly debated topics in our society. Recently, the Pledge of Allegiance has added to this debate.  American citizens have generally recited the Pledge of Allegiance at important ceremonies ranging from presidential inaugurations to the beginning of the school day. The pledge has a great deal of sentimental value to many Americans, but also creates a great deal of controversy for others.
Review the Supreme Court case Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, which highlights the debate.

1. Summarize the salient points of the Supreme Court case Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow.
2. Discuss the levels of the court through which the case evolved before it reached the Supreme Court.
3. Explain the decision of the Supreme Court in this case in brief.
4. Explain the fundamental impact that the court decision in question has had on American society in general and on ethics in American society in particular. Provide a rationale for the response.
