You're right, they DID break the law by putting "under God" in there in the first place. But to keep myself from getting on my own personal rant about the subject, let me give you the URL to a place that gives an overview on the history of the Pledge, including where it came from.
Contrary to popular belief, it hasn't always "been there" and neither has that controversial little phrase.

That's a good place to start. After that, do a search on it and you'll find more about the subject. Hope this helps. :)

The original pledge of allience did not have "under god" in it. It was added in the 40's, so the letter is not stupid, you are if you didn't know that.
