U.S. District Judge John Bates denied on Friday Michael Newdow's lawsuit aimed at preventing the saying of a Christian prayer at President Bush's inauguration. Bates said the claim should be denied because Newdow had lost a similar lawsuit in federal appeals court last year, adding that Newdow had no legal standing to pursue his claim. Newdow gained publicity two years ago, after winning a case on the Pledge of Allegiance before the 9th Circuit; the Supreme Court tossed that ruling.
