I just watched the father, Michael Newdow, who brought this all about because his second-grade daughter had to say the Pledgein school, on Hannity & Commie. All I could think of was, and I don't wish it for him believe me, is if his doctor had to say to him one day, "Well Mr. Newdow, you have incurable cancer and only have three months to live". I'd bet my last dollar Mr. Newdow would say, or think, "Oh, my God". And I'd also bet, if, God forbid, something happened to his daughter, he'd also be calling on God. I did feel sorry for him - he's rather a sad sack completely lacking in stamina of any kind. On the other hand, Thank God, he's in the minority amongst Americans, along with the iditoic judges.

Ah, that sounds like an appeal to the old "no atheists in foxholes" myth.

Dr. Newdow used to live in Florida, and brought a similar suit there, which got nowhere. I suspect he moved to California because he knew his best shot was with the Ninth Circuit! Talk about forum-shopping!

I am just glad that the national reaction to this act of judicial activism has been wholeheartedly against them. Their actions are arrogant, athiest, elitist, and exclusionary. It has even been suggested that the specific two judges are "too far out of the mainstream" and "should be kicked off the bench".
