Supreme Court may be tiring of atheist activist Newdow

Atheist activist Michael Newdow, a controversial lawyer who once received significant media attention, may have worn out his welcome at the U.S. Supreme Court this week.

.....

But this is not the last the court will hear from Newdow. For example, he filed a lawsuit shortly after the 2008 election seeking an order forbidding Chief Justice John Roberts from concluding Barack Obama's presidential oath with, "so help me God." The D.C. Circuit federal appeals court dismissed this case for lack of standing in 2010.

Once again, Newdow has petitioned the Supreme Court. And also this week, on March 9 the court extended the deadline another month for the Justice Department to oppose Newdow's petition.
