At this point, I have the usual problem. Writing about John Ashcroft poses the same difficulties as writing about the Bush administration in general, only more so: the truth about his malfeasance is so extreme that it's hard to avoid sounding shrill.

I began my effort to remove "under God" from the pledge in 1998, when my child's mother, Sandra Banning, and I were good friends. This was more than a year before we first went to family court. In fact, it wasn't until July 2002 — after my victory in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit — that the issue of my daughter's legal custody entered into the pledge case. In bringing the case, my goal was simply to uphold the separation of church and state, especially in my daughter's public school, that is required by the Constitution.
