I know that the US Constitution uses the phrase "in the year of our Lord", which was common convention at the time, but does it mention a "Creator" anywhere else?

No, but the Declaration of Independence does. The constitution mentions the word "religion" and I can imagine this court or another coming to even more absurd conclusions.
What is to stop them ? This train of illogic started in the 60's and hasn't been stopped yet. Why not declare that our founders' declaration is flawed by the mention of a Creator and that we are still a colony of England ? Why not forbid prayer in all government buildings (including Congress) ? I know its absurd to think it could go that far but who would expect a court to interfere with the Pledge of Allegiance ? It's all Kafkaesque to start with.

A creator is implied and assumed. "Our Lord" refers to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

I wouldn't be suprised to someday see;
NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS RULES CONSTITUTIONAL WORDS, "OUR LORD" UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
