Justice Sunday II

The Evangelical Outpost did a LiveBlog Feed of Justice Sunday II Here are few interesting items and comments:

• 7:18pm -- Do politics and local churches go together? Yes, says Ted Haggard, there is nothing that we believe that does not affect public policy. Haggard encourages Christians to get more involved in politics, learning the skills needed to run for public office if necessary. All it takes is a God intoxicated generation to influence a people, Haggard says, quoting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
• 7:06pm -- Out-of-control judges are the biggest threat facing America today, says Phyllis Schlafly. She refers to them as “supremacists” because they put the courts as supreme over the legislature and executive branch. Those who say they want an independent court, she claims, really want a court independent of the Constitution. Schlafly claims that the Supreme Court rulings should not be considered the law of the land, placed even higher even than the Constitution. It’s hard to argue with that point.
• 6:05pm -- Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council, opens the ceremony, repeating a great line he used earlier in the press conference: "We do not claim the right to speak for every American. But we do claim the right to speak."
• Comment by Boonton Judges are not supposed to be legislators. There's a reason the founders did not make them directly elected positions (in fact, the founders didn't even make Senators directly elected...that came later). Time for the intellectuals of the right to file for the intellectual equilivant of chapter 7 bankruptcy protection before Bush's 'reforms' make it harder for them yet!
