Newdow Seeks To Bar Chief Justice From Swearing Obama In By Using The Words Under God
Atheists Sue Chief Justice Over Inaugural Oath is an important December 30, 2008 posting from the Blog of Legal Times. It reports on famed atheist Newdow (of Pledge fame) efforts to restrain Chief Justice Roberts from using the word under god in Obama's inaugural oath of office. The oath is in the constitution, but the words under oath are not present. A copy of the 32 page complaint filed in the District of the District of Columbia is available here.
My question is why Newdow does not seek to prevent the oath to be taken over a bible and why Newdown does not seek to prevent the future President to be sworn in. When you swear, my understanding is you swear to god.
