Court Rejects Challenge to Inaugural Prayer

A federal judge on Friday rejected a challenge brought by atheist Michael Newdow to stop the invocation prayer at President Bush's second inauguration.

I am so glad to hear this...

...my limited knowledge of Newdow leads me to believe that he is suffering from some kind of need to be noticed...

this is the same guy that sued to have the "under God" phrase removed from the Pledge of Allegiance...he sued supposedly on behalf of his daughter...

...however, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the decision on a technicality....it said Newdow could not lawfully sue on behalf of his elementary school-aged daughter because he did not have custody of the girl and because the girl's mother objected to the suit...
