Dr. Newdow is a Emergency Room Doctor who works 12 hour shifts something
like 3 weeks out of each four.
People have contributed to Newdow (but it has never been a huge sum) just
like people contribute to Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Kennedy,
ACLJ, and a whole host of other Right wing organizations and individuals
Do you know who represented Newdow's ex girlfriend, the mother of their
child? None other than Kenneth Starr of Clinton impeachment fame. Do you
honestly think she could afford Kenneth Starr of is she was not the Mother
of the child in question Kenneth Starr would have had anything to do with
her?
Now, exactly what was your point?

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,
