Slate has a fine article on why the Supreme Court was correct to throw out the Pledge case yesterday on what appeared to be technicalities. It’s interesting how many in the mainstream media (on both sides of the issue) have completed ignored the underlying facts of this case (the custody battle between Newdow and his daughter’s mother). Perhaps this wouldn’t have been such a high profile, derisive case has everyone known the facts.
