Serving process on the Chief Justice ? at his home.

"[Daniel] Portnoy, owner of D.C. Legal Process, was serving papers in atheist Michael Newdow?s challenge of the words 'so help me God' in the oath that President-elect Barack Obama will take next week... [John] Roberts was surprised he was being served at home, Portnoy says. But the process server had to reach Roberts in his individual capacity..."

Now, I've broken my silence on the atheist's case about the oath. I don't really want to talk about these attention-seekers, even though I teach Religion & the Constitution, because I resent the way they cause many people to despise the Establishment Clause and to think atheists are litigious louts. I detest the idea that Obama's magic moment ? turning into President ? has been intruded upon by people doing PR for their crusade.
