Re: Attorney's fees in pledge of allegiance case

[Pam Karlan]

Under Kay v. Ehrler, 499 U.S. 432 (1991),  a pro se litigant who is also a lawyer cannot be awarded fees under 42 U.S.C. sec. 1988, which is, I assume, the fee-shifting statute most likely to apply to this case.

Since Mark Newdow is apparently representing himself, would he be entitled
to attorneys' fees if he prevails in the pledge of allegiance case?  If so,
approximately how much would they be (four figures, five figures, or six
figures)?
