[Miss Marple]

This guy is a stalker, and he is using the courts as a weapon. Notice that he first filed suit in Florida, where it was thtown out. The mother moved to California, and he apparently followed her. He does not live in the school district, and now we find out he doesn't have custody. I am wondering if he even gets visitation...or were all those toys a sham as well.

He is using the court to harass the mother. He should be arrested.

I don't know if he gets any kind of custody but he was the one who called his daughter to break the "good news" to her. He sounds like a NUT to me.

I never understood how an emergency room doctor turned lawyer had so much free time on his hands and where he got his money to spend on these lawsuits. It seems he no longer works in the emergency room (thank goodness) or at least I think that's what I heard. I wonder if he has any clients besides himself?

THAT is my theory too....that Newdow is actually using the courts to attack his Christian former-whatever. (child's mother)
That this man is SO self-serving that he would use an 8 year old girl as a weapon of revenge.
I beleive Newdow is nuts. He is inconsistant, not very bright (for a double degree professional)...and seems to be a squirming________________.
He's is lying about why he filed the lawsuit.
It's an attack against the mother of the child that's all.
The mother, as a Christian, knows what she is dealing with.
Just your run of the mill "evil-doer"!

You have hit the nail on the head about this man. What he is doing to his daughter is abysmal and must make this mother's life miserable. When Rita asked her about what she thought about this case as it started, she said that she was too busy in court about other matters to give it much thought. In other words, this man has been busy in court making life very difficult for this little girl and her mom. They need our prayers. BTW, when school started last week for the daughter, she led the school in saying the pledge of alliance! Ha!

"...He is using the court to harass the mother. He should be arrested."

BINGO...I think you just solved the real reason for his suit.

He does have visitation with his daughter. There seems to be some confusion as to the custody of this young child. It's my understanding they share custody.

The mother and daughter attend the same church I do.
