MICHAEL NEWDOW, THE GUY CHALLENGING "UNDER GOD" IN THE PLEDGE...
...is a weirdo.
The Rev. Dr. Michael A. Newdow, Esq. -- physician, lawyer and founder of the First Amendmist Church of True Science -- has a restless, uncompromising mind, a mind that dissents radically from many widely accepted aspects of American life, from the pledge to family law to gender-specific pronouns in the English language. In his own writing, Newdow uses "ree" instead of "he" or "she," and "rees" instead of "his" or "her."
And until his daughter was around four years old, Newdow apparently often denied being her father. Now that he wants to use her as a prop in his various legal battles, though, he has become "a wonderful father." Well, those are his words. Not anyone else's. The girl's mother says she supposes he loves their daughter--"as much as it's possible for him to love anyone."
Sounds like a real prince.
