The suit attempting to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance has been halted on standing grounds. This is where I thought it should have stopped originally anyhow - the Ninth Circuit held true to form, though, making sure that no Constitutional requirements got in their way of making Constitutional law.

The reason the Newdow suit even came to me was that he was just now on FNC. I presume his standing fell because he did not have custody of his daughter. It's possible that he isn't even a legal guardian anymore (I beg for advance forgiveness, as family law is not my forte). Point is, he mentioned how disturbing the custody laws are in this country, how they "rip families apart," etc. That begs the question, of course: Is he concerned about custody laws because they muffed up his suit, or does he really want to spend more time around his daughter?

Varying motives make for interesting speculation.
