It's looking more & more like the plantif not only has no standing, but may have committed perjury in his claims about his daughter. I hope they go after him on that...

Maybe God, in His grace, will reach down in the night and bless the judges with a touch of good sense.

I doubt it! They will probably go by the way of that O'Hair lady!

Last week, the girl's mother, who never married Newdow and has sole custody of the daughter, said the child in question was a Christian, goes to church regularly, doesn't mind reciting the Pledge, and was not harmed in any way by its recitation in school.

Last week you said the two parents had shared custody. Are you sure that's right?

Newdow "claims that his daughter is injured when she is compelled to 'watch and listen

Hmm....who actually wants her to 'watch and listen' rather than participate in reciting the pledge?

Newdow is the one who doesn't want her to participate.. Therefore he should sue himself for attempting to 'injure' her, (by his desire to banish her to the ranks of the injured onlookers).

Failing that, maybe his daughter can sue him for defamation of character.

Last Night on Fox Wire with Rita Cosby; Rita interviewed the child's mother, who told Rita that Newdow actually celebrated Passover etc.
So....that's why he even stumbles over his own views of atheism.
(Shepard Smith exposed a lot of Newdows inconsistancies in an interview the previous Friday afternoon--talk about a worm on a hot plate....)!!!!

I'm sure the 9th can twist the law to ignore this.

[robertpaulsen]

It would set a terrible precedent to allow the child to determine what she does or doesn't mind and whether or not she is harmed by an action.

Can we now go after this guy with a class action suit for mental anguish and stress?

At a minimum, I hope he has to reimburse the Treasury for his fraud.
