Department of Pots and Kettles

The New Republic invented this department a few years ago as a clever way of introducing items in which the pot called the kettle black. The author of the anti-Pledge of Allegiance opinion, Judge Alfred T.

Roughly 84% of the American people found the 2-1 ruling against the Pledge pretty mindless.
