He was never married to the child's mother. What right does he have to sue for custody anyway? You play, you pay. He seems to be the kind of despicable person who gives all attorneys a bad name.
To: alisasny
Listen to the statements of the MOTHER & Linda, in so many words, they BOTH DID call him a PERJURER!!!!!! That was why he said that FOX WASN'T "FAIR AND BALANCED!!!!!" ROFL

There's something I don't understand about this case. If the guy doesn't have custody and the child is a practising Christian who has no problem with the Pledge, how does the father have standing to pursue the case? If the premise is the child is being harmed and the reality is she isn't, how did the case ever get off the ground? Can some Freeper lawyer please explain?Newdow's case was dismissed in the lower court based on a ruling that the claim failed to state a cause of action. This is a preliminary ruling based only on the allegations of the complaint. This means the case never went to trial and nothing ever had to be proved, only alleged.
The appellate court (9th Circuit) reviews only the record from the court below. It does not make any findings of fact. Therefore, for the purpose of the appeal it had to take Newdow's allegations as true.
Now, where Newdow got too-clever-by-half was when he started gloating about his victory and said something like "it never was about my daughter, I just had to play the game to get it through the system." By doing that he basically admitted the case was a sham.
The federal courts do not countenance frivolous pleadings. There is even a special rule, Rule 11, addressing sanctions for such conduct.
While most people think the 9th Circuit took a mulligan on the ruling by staying it until further review, I believe they were well within their rights to stay it to consider imposing sanctions for sham pleading.
