United States Ninth Circuit


Newdow v. US Congress, 06-16344

In an action claiming that the national motto of the United States, "In God We Trust," and its inscription on the Nation's coins and currency, violated the Establishment Clause or the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, dismissal of the complaint is affirmed where the Ninth Circuit's prior decision in Aronow v. U.S., 432 F.2d 242 (9th Cir. 1970), foreclosed both claims.
