> Court Goes With 'God'
> The National Law Journal
>
> Before every oral argument in the D.C. Circuit, a court clerk tells everyone
> to draw near and give their attention because the court is now sitting. The
> opening cry ends with the line "God save the United States and this
> honorable court." Atheist lawyer and physician Michael Newdow filed a motion
> to block the clerk from referring to God next Tuesday when a panel takes up
> his case challenging the custom of concluding the presidential oath of
> office with the line "So help me God." A panel rejected that request
> Wednesday.
