Here is, I think, the most important exchange in this interview:

COSBY: What do you think motivated him to file this suit then?

BANNING: I — I'm not for sure what his motivation was, I know that he's always had a strong interest in constitutional law, and um, I know that he's always had a desire to — to — he's always enjoyed controversy and so it, being involved in something like this, it really doesn't surprise me too much.

...he's always enjoyed controversy...?

Plain and simple...GLORY HOUND! This guy should be taken to jail for perpetrating a fraud on the courts.

Of course, the 9th is a fraud in and of itself, so I am not sure how that would work, but you get the point.

Funny that these activists cannot find a real situation to base their lawsuits on. They always have to concoct something to make their point.
This girl was not "harmed" The father lied about it. He may have been "harmed", but he wasn't forced to say it. Therfor the case should be thrown out.
I remember, thar the Jane Doe case was a lie in the case which made it legal to have an abortion.

He may not go to jail but he should be disbarred!

California Rule of Professional Conduct 5-200 states:
"In presenting a matter to a tribunal, a member :
(A) Shall employ, for the purpose of maintaining the causes confided to the member such means only as are consistent with truth;
(B) Shall not seek to mislead the judge, judicial officer, or jury by an artifice or false statement of fact or law;"

If you read the 9th Circuit opinion he represented to the trial court and to the appeals court that his daughter objected to, and was harmed by, her recitation of the Pledge.
