A divorced father who wants to circumcise his 13-year-old son against the wishes of the boy's mother is trying to take his case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
James Boldt, who converted to Judaism, argues that preventing him from circumcising his son violates his constitutional right to practice his religion.
The U.S. Supreme Court accepts a small fraction of the appeals it receives. A decision on whether it will take the case is not expected until the fall
Earlier this year, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled that the trial judge should determine what the boy wants.
Boldt's ex-wife, Lia, a member of the Russian Orthodox Church, says her son doesn't want the procedure but is afraid to tell his father. Full story HERE.
