Newdow Update
I have been following Michael Newdow and his crusade to eliminate the "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance since I started this blog. Well, here is another step. A Judge has thrown out a large portion of his case, limiting the case to just the pledge in the school. Newdow cannot challenge the pledge itself. Judge Will Throw Out Parts of Newdow's Pledge Case.
In the wake of the SCOTUS decision to punt, this is the only possible thing the judge could have done. By limiting the question to a yes/no possibility to if the Pledge belongs in the schools at all, it is a pretty good chance that Newdow will go down in flames.
Good for him. It is a bad thing for one person to have the power to control over the entire country like this. If he doesn't like "Under God" in the pledge, then he can just shut up when it comes to those two words. I don't care if he's offended by them, there's lots of things that offend me, but I realize we are a country of freedoms and I must let other people express their freedoms, as long as it doesn't directly affect me.
