Fundies rally for Alito |
"There could be a reconstruction of the U.S. Supreme Court in our
immediate lifetime," said Falwell.
I don't like the sound of that.

Christian conservatives rally for Judge Alito
Christian conservative leader Rev. Jerry Falwell said on Sunday that
confirming Federal Appeals Court judge Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme
Court would be the biggest victory for his constituency in three decades.
"What we've worked on for 30 years, to mobilize people of faith and
value in this country, what we've done through these years is coming to
culmination right now," Falwell said at a rally on the eve of Alito's
confirmation hearing.
"Now we're looking at what we really started on 30 years ago,
reconstruction of a court system gone awry," Falwell said at a rally at
a Baptist church in Philadelphia and broadcast on Christian radio and
television.
"There could be a reconstruction of the U.S. Supreme Court in our
immediate lifetime," said Falwell.
Falwell and others, including Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Rick Santorum
(news, bio, voting record), urged supporters to press senators to
confirm Alito, who is set to begin hearings before the Senate Judiciary
Committee on Monday.
"Go to the telephone, write your letter, get to your U.S. senators.
Let's confirm this man, Judge Alito, to the U.S. Supreme Court," Falwell
said. "And let's make one more step toward bringing America back to one
nation under God."
President George W. Bush has nominated Alito, a member of the 3rd
Circuit since 1990, to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who
often has been the swing vote on the nine-member Supreme Court on social
issues.
Largely liberal opponents say that Alito's record as a judge and a
Reagan administration lawyer two decades ago show him to be a threat to
civil rights, abortion rights, environmental protection.
Santorum described Alito as a judge who was "unwilling to impose his
views on the American people."
"In other words, the kind of jurist our founders hoped for to preserve
the principals of our great country," Santorum said.
James Dobson of Focus on the Family told the audience that Alito's
confirmation would mean the end of a Supreme Court that has imposed its
will on the American people in deciding cases involving religion.
Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation
of Church and State said in a telephone interview that the rally on
Sunday was more about power than justice.
"They want a judiciary system that lock, stock and barrel follows the
religious doctrines of the Falwells and Dobsons of the world," Lynn
said.

Why is the religious right so ecstatic over the possibility
Alito's
confirmation?
Why do you think I have some inside line on their delusions?
Alito is a judicial conservative, not a radical fundie in black
robes.
Sure.

What makes Falwell suddenly credible or authoritative on this
issue as opposed to any other issue?
It's not only Foulwell.
What makes the others any more credible?

Sure.
My, what a cogent argument!

Alito is a judicial conservative, not a radical fundie in black robes.
From what I've read and heard, he takes the government's side of any case.
That would make him an authoritarian in my book.

You've been misled. He follows the law. If the law is on the
government's side, that's the "side" he takes. If the "little guy" has
the law on his side, then he's on that "side".
