Supreme Court ruled against Newdow today in the pledge case. I'm a little disappointed in the verdict, but as far as I'm concerned, ruling against Newdow on standing grounds is a tacit admission that his substantive claim was correct.

Furthermore, the pledge itself should be tossed out, lock, stock, and barrel. It's pointless, it's counterproductive, and it's absurd.

(Goodbye, presidential run!)

I guess it's lucky that we can take this issue off the table in an election year, but the Court was still wrong. (By the way, if you haven't seen it yet, this link is actually real. Click it.)
