Establishment Clausewitz

March 3, 2003

On Friday, the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled on
Newdow v. US Congress, denying rehearing en banc, and setting it up for appeal to the Supreme Court. I'm going to refrain on writing more now due to my inability to write anything quickly, but I hope to sometime this week, as I get back into Establishment Clause reading to prepare for the final draft of my brief. Here are some news stories and blog posts (all via How Appealing):
