Supreme Court pledge case may test prayer ban fate
Lawyers note the court could avoid a merits ruling if Newdow lacks standing or if Justice Scalia recuses. The plaintiff lacks custody of the girl, who lives with her mother Sandra Banning. Scalia's absence could leave eight justices to a potential 4-4 deadlock affecting 9.6 million students across nine states.
