How do you know he's not being a daddy to his daughter? Certainly he has gone to great lengths to be physically near her, the first requirement to being a daddy (you can't be a daddy from 3,000 miles away). He's also paying all of his salary and a good portion of his savings to support his child, another basic requirement of daddyhood. Beyond that, we're back in the realm of supposition; you suppose he is a bad daddy because you don't like the person you see in news interviews or the fact that he won his case before the Ninth.

Quite frankly, I think this whole issue is a silly little tempest-in-a-teacup, and I am certain that an atheist of Newdow's obvious intellectual and legal capabilities could find a more important battle to wage. Be that as it may, I don't believe popular opinion is an accurate barometer of good and bad laws, or people for that matter.

BTW, God was not named as a defendant in Michael Newdow's suit. If God is as omnipotent, eternal, and omniscient as they say two then little words in the POA aren't going to bother Him on whit.

You can't effectively box with the Creator in a nutburger friendly court from 3,000 miles away either, can you.

The only disagreements we seem to be having here, flyervet, is "What is Michael Newdow's obsession?"...What is his core?

If it was his little girl (who goes to a Christian Church & believes in God, I might add), you'd think his time would be spent OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE TRYING TO FURTHER HIS ATHEISTIC PURSUITS.

No interview with him has yet to center on how he wants to take her to McDonalds, push her on a playground swing, buy her ice cream, and do Daddy things...No, they center around Newdow wanting to do NEWDOW THINGS...Busting up God from the Inaugural Address, Banning the Pledge of Allegiance, Removing "In God We Trust" from federal currency...The list goes on & on.

Yea, every good father puts his obsessions ahead of the children. "Come on, Honey, Daddy's taking you to a God Bashing! Wheeeeeeeeee"
