I knew it. The Supreme Court threw out Newdow's case on a technicality. Arguing that Newdow does not have standing to file the case because he is a non-custodial parent, the Supreme Court weaseled their way out of making the most important church-state ruling this session.

It's not like the Supreme Court has a problem with making unpopular decisions. The justices' terms are lifetime appointments for a reason, but in today's uber-politicized government, no office is free of partisan considerations anymore. I suppose it's always been this way.

Look for a flurry of new lawsuits by custodial parents in the fall.
