I received this in my e-mail today. I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the quote, but it sure SOUNDS like Dennis Miller. I'm posting this with the caveat that I cannot verify the authenticity of the quote. If it proves to be a hoax, a retraction will be issued, citing the correct author if known.
[Dennis Miller] said recently on his show, regarding the judge who declared the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional: "So, Your Honor, the Pledge is unconstitutional because it says 'Under God'. Guess that means when you were sworn in with your hand on a Bible, and at the end of your oath repeated, 'So Help Me God' that makes your job unconstitutional, therefore you have no job, which means your ruling doesn't mean shit."
I cannot find a transcript listing for his recent shows/rants, and I came up empty-handed at the Urban Legends Reference Pages website. But the logic and the verbiage are very similar to other Dennis Miller statements. Regardless of the source, I love the statement, even though the underpinnings are a little shaky.

The rants listed on HBO.com are a few weeks behind (I guess they don't want people to drop HBO so they can read the rants instead).
Anyway, I watched Dennis' show that week, and what Dennis said was very close to the quote above, but of course his rant was much funnier when read in context.
Keep an eye on http://www.hbo.com/dml/ and I bet the transcript will be up in a few weeks
