(Washington, DC) The American Center for Law and Justice, specializing in constitutional law, said today it is pleased a federal district court upheld prayer at the Presidential inauguration and rejected a request from Michael Newdow for a preliminary injunction that would have barred prayer from the January 20th event. Newdow is expected to file an emergency appeal with a federal appeals court and the ACLJ is preparing legal briefs to file at the appellate level....

Maybe we should all turn the channel? I'll tell you this much, we need to do some kind of demonstration if he wins the appeal.

Does anyone really think the G W Bush won't just stop and pray himself whenever he wants to - no matter what any court says.
I just had rule 11 sanctions explained to me. Is it possible to have this or these sanctions applied? This guy is such a pain in the butt!
Explain rule 11 to us.

Noooooo Sean is going to chew him up and spit him out! I can't miss the opportunity to see that.
make that funds!
Under the rules of federal procedure rule 11 provides for sanctions for filing a frivolous claim. The unique aspect of rule 11 sanctions is that they attach not only to the client but to the attorney as well and they are joint and several. IOW the attorney can be forced to pay the full sanction regardless of only being partly responsible. Rule 11 sanctions can also get the attorney in trouble with their local bar over the various "candor to the tribunal" rules in ethics. This sanction is above and beyond taxing the court costs upon Newdow or making him pay the attorney fees. I think the public would very much welcome slamming newdow for the court costs of this lunacy. Of course it requires the Justice department to file a motion(s) for both.
Sounds like it should apply...He is the plaintiff and the lawyer. I just don't understand why some assasin hasn't taken this mf out yet.
Yay! I hope he takes it all the way to SCOTUS,
getting rejected at every step.What a loser/jerk Newdow is.
Well, Madeleine Murray O'Hare died and someone had to pick up the torch.
He's fighting Christians and Christianity. It's not how we do things. I am confident that God can take care of Newdow's consequences.
