No Left Turns has a very interesting post on the Pledge case yesterday. Most interesting is this snippet from Clarence Thomas who writes:

as a matter of our precedent, the Pledge policy is unconstitutional. I believe, however, that Lee [v. Weisman] was wrongly decided. Lee depended on a notion of โ€œcoercionโ€ that, as I discuss below, has no basis in law or reason. The kind of coercion implicated by the Religion Clauses is that accomplished โ€œby force of law and threat of penalty.โ€ 505 U.S., at 640 (Scalia, J., dissenting); see id., at 640โ€”645. Peer pressure, unpleasant as it may be, is not coercion.
