The US Supreme Court decided today in "Elk Grove v. Newdow."

By a decision of eight justices (Scalia recused himself), it was decided that Michael Newdow did not have the legal standing to bring suit on behalf of his daughter. His ex-wife had been granted full legal responsibility" and hence Newdow's suit was void.

This is the "Pledge of Allegiance" case, if you'll remember.
