Michael Newdow, the plaintiff in the "under God" fiasco that had been in the Ninth Circuit and U.S. Supreme Court in the last few years, is back at it. Not phased at all by the Supreme Court's decision that he did not have standing to litigate his interests as a parent of a school-age child to protect her from religious references, Newdow will now file suit to challenge the words "In God We Trust" on currency.

This is an extremely premature analysis, but my best guess is that this suit will go down in flames in the Supreme Court if it makes it that far and is heard on the merits; there are probably six justices that will feel that this wording is a historical exercise permitted under the Constitution.

These posters have been all over the New York City subways and buses for quite a while now, in both English and Spanish (Si ve algo, dice algo).

But soon, if the application goes through, the Metropolitan Transit Authority will have a trademark in the phrase. The MTA is pretty aggressive on intellectual property, especially considering that they are a municipal organization. I can't help but wonder if trademark attorneys' fees aren't 50 cents of every $2 fare.
