**I don't know what to make of Michael Newdow the man, but Michale Newdow the father has earned my respect. **

Newdow the father used his daughter as a PAWN to further his atheistic agenda. Something to admire? Something to respect? I think not.

Michael Newdow uprooted his entire life and moved three thousand miles to be near his child, who was a victim of her mother's selfish and short-sighted attempt to deprive her of her father. Not only did he face the normal difficulties in a cross-country move he also faced the difficulty of re-certifying and re-licensing in California, a process that can take months. Many men would not be willing to do that. Michael Newdow was. My hat is off to him.

Moreover, if I were defending someone who had moved across country for no other reason but to prevent a father from having access to his child, I would not be throwing around words like "pawn". Of course, I wouldn't be defending someone like that in the first place.
