I wouldn't put too much stock in what that ambulance chaser says. Yes, that's the term I used for him, given the fact the case is over and he'll never be on any further such cases. One gets what one pays for - CAPEEM worked with what they had. Had Newdow been there since inception things would have been a lot different.

Yes, please read the entire thread again on their statements. At every step of the way they had to fight tooth and nail and to prove and validate themselves and their argument. And they did with absolutely limited resources putting their personal lives, lives of their family on hold. Instead of bit of gratitude and for any gain however marginal it is, we have speculations on coulda-woulda-shoulda. How about a simple thanks to the guys/gals who did what they did.
Next time (and believe me for sure there'll be a next time, 49 other states if I exclude Iraq) I'd like to see arm-chair critics actually get up and do something.

On verdict, CAPEEM has made no claims of victory and like you am still waiting on their statement. If you have seen something from some other forum/group, let me know. I personally don't feel it's a defeat - few weeks/months back if you remember I had sent you a personal email.
