Linda Vester Ripping Apart Pledge Problem Dad

[My Favorite Headache]

She is ripping the father right now over the Under God portion of the pledge.

[NEPA]

There's something I don't understand about this case. If the guy doesn't have custody and the child is a practising Christian who has no problem with the Pledge, how does the father have standing to pursue the case? If the premise is the child is being harmed and the reality is she isn't, how did the case ever get off the ground?

Can some Freeper lawyer please explain?

And Linda was great. I kept hearing how smart this guy is (doctor, lawyer) but he seemed liked an idiot.

I'm not a lawyer, just a lowly paralegal, but I'd say it was his donation of his demon seed to the mother.

they were never married

I don't see how he can assert any "parental" authority at all. If he had had the child's best interest in mind, she'd be living in a two parent household.

Sandy has sole physical custody but there is also shared joint custody...don't know how that exactly works.

From what I *do* know, it's a blessing they never married.

It is true that Linda V. is a pro--educated, mature, a patriot.

But her most salient characteristic is that she is SHweeeeet!

I receivd this via email today. Thought it was pretty cool:

"I'm not sure what anyone thinks of Dennis Miller but at times he can be right on the nose with his assessments of life in the USA. I heard him the other night saying his piece on the fairy in a nightgowns decision to ban the Pledge of Allegiance in schools and it struck me as quite possibly the most insightful rant on the subject that I have heard.

He states that in his opinion, by rendering that verdict the judges who took their oaths of office by swearing on a Bible had in effect voided their employment contract and were therefore out of a job.

Secondly he thought that since this was their attitude on the word GOD that we should no longer pay them with currency with the word GOD imprinted on it and see how long it took to get a second opinion.

Third and I think perhaps the most insightful of all was his opinion that these justices should spend less time concentrating on the separation of church and state and more time on the separation of their heads and their asses."

God Bless America (Please)

I'm no lawyer, but it sure would seem to me that the courts would view this case as being fraudulently brought, especially since he's been bragging all over TV about his cleverness in using his daughter to give him standing.

Linda Vester is cool. She is forthright and doesn't take BS. She also has those "sad eyes" that give her a serious, authoritative look (ditto Brit Hume). To top it off, she's good looking, too.

LV is cute. I always like the petite ones. With TKO's like Alexander, Getry, and Dhue, I wonder if FOX is someone's name, or if they named this network for some other reason.....

[clintonh8r]

She has great legs.

[El Sordo]

True.

I would only argue that he has no grounds for expecting any kind of 'fariness'.

[azhenfud]

"I kept hearing how smart this guy is (doctor, lawyer) but he seemed liked an idiot."

Maybe he should diagnose himself as psycopathic, declare himself legally incompetent, and sue himself for malpractice. At least he'd do an honest day's work....

[Recovering_Democrat]

I may have to rethink my attitude about Vester...

[Roger_W_Isom]

Basically she called him a LIAR to his face and she was right ON!!!!!

[BlueLancer]

I like Rita Cosby ... she's got a little more meat on her than the rest.

[Auntbee]

If this guy thinks saying "one nation under God" is wrong, how does he feel about our currency,which states "In God We Trust". He doesn't deserve any money! IMO. This is my first day so don't pounce on me too hard.

[Roger_W_Isom]

Someone as stupid as this guy is BEYOND being insulted!!!!!!There is NO WAY this ruling is going to stand in the Supreme Court let ALONE the 9th!!! I mean they caught him in an OUT AND OUT LIE!!!!! His statement that he was doing this in "defense of his daughter" is aa BLATANT a lie as one can GET!!!!! I mean just by what the mother said the court HAS to rule against him!!!!!! ANYTHING less would be an OUTRAGE!!!

[Brush_Your_Teeth]

Linda Vester is a pitbull. I have seen her rip others apart on all sorts of different subjects! YOU GO GIRL!

[Roger_W_Isom]

If the Supreme court was WISE they should take the example of this "man's" BLATANT lieing and say...." because you atheists have ALWAYS lied to the Supreme Court, going back to the 61 Murry O'Hare decision, we hereby rule that the ORIGINAL ruling barring pray in the schools is hereby LIFTED!!!! " Oh talk about the lib going CRAZY!!!!! LOL
