My Boy Newdow
Posted by Bill The New York Times has a gushing review: Michael A. Newdow, who makes his living as an emergency room doctor, gave a spell-binding performance before the court. And the Washington Post concurs: Any doubts about whether California atheist Michael A. Newdow made a mistake by arguing his own case against the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance evaporated about midway through his performance at the Supreme Court yesterday. Newdow is a slightly eccentric guy, typified by his sarcastic status as a "minister" in a church that doesn't actually worship a deity and his zealous advocacy of the concept of forced paternity, but he is also an extremely bright, focused man. Just from watching his pre-court debate at American University, I was pretty positive that he would present an effective case. Now we'll have to see if the judges are swayed more by logic or politics. I hate to say it, but I think politics might win out on this one. UPDATE: I debate this a bit in the comments section over at Blackfive. Posted by Bill at March 25, 2004 09:33 AM | TrackBack (0) |
