Supremes Dodge a Bullet; Leave None Happy

The Supreme Court decided to avoid having to say that "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional (and the very dodging makes you think that indeed, that's exactly what they found yet did not want to say). Instead, they ruled that the father did not have the standing to bring the lawsuit.

But if not the father, than whom? Can small children bring a court suit to the Supremes? If the child waits until the age of majority, they'll say the "damage" is too old.
