He attempts to be the leader in the battle to remove God and religion from the public square, but the courts just won't let him succeed.  That's good for Christians.  For those of you who have never heard of Michael Newdow, he's the man who has attempted on several different occasions to stop Inaugural prayers since 2001. 

And again yesterday, a DC Federal Judge 'dismissed'  Newdow's most recent case; an attempt to have the words "so help me God" removed from the Inaugural Oath.  This was his third defeat on the same issue. 

Pacific Justice Institute President Brad Dacus said about the courts decision.

"Michael Newdow may have thought the third time was the charm with this lawsuit, but thankfully the court agreed with us, and three strikes means he's out," 

"The very notion that a federal district judge should order either the Chief Justice or the President-elect's invited clergy what to say or not say is just censorship by another name."

Mr. Newdow is an attorney, and has taken his case to  the United States Supreme Court in order to have the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance but was shot down in no uncertain terms.

Newdow's goals seem to be more about removing your rights as a Christian on behalf of the godless ones than he is on preserving the Constitution of the United States.
