Big Arm Woman gets it right (as usual)

A few months ago Big Arm Woman, at her consistently excellent and amusing blog Tightly Wound, ripped Michael Nednow, the plainitff in the case claiming that the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Alliegance is unconnstituitonal. Her key point: "You, sir, are an asshole." Her analysis is now amply confirmed by this Washington Post profile, which paints a picture of Nednow as, frankly . . . what she said he was.

The evidence of his status is ample, but my personal favorite:

On Sept. 11, 2003, after a 10-day custody trial that Newdow had demanded, Mize modified the order slightly, giving him nominal legal custody and some additional visitation time but leaving Banning veto authority over major decisions -- and Newdow still bitter.

Each month, his child-support checks arrive with the notation "under protest," [the child's mother] said.

Newdow's main argument in the case is that the entire family law system is wrongly premised on "the best interests of the child," when what should really count is what he says is the parents' constitutional right to equal time.

Words fail me.
