Why are we even having to deal with this? Why are religious organizations now political lobbying groups? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… What about the people in this country who aren’t part of the christian faith or the religious right’s specific set of values. Where is Their representative government? It seems like the separation of church and state in this country now means, separation so long as its everyone else’s faith except the christian right.

Christian radio and television networks on Sunday called for an all out attack on ending the fillibuster on judicial nominees in the US Senate. Of course the christian right knows what is best for the entire country and they are only protecting all of us. I mean over 200 years of using the fillibuster as part of the rules of the Senate were just plain wrong. The forefathers were off their tracks when they created the fillibuster. Those christian forefathers.

So what happens when the Republicans are not the majority party in congress and “liberal activist judges” are just sailing through the confirmation process? The christian organizations might think that whole fillibuster idea suddenly seems like a good thing. There is a reason why legislation moves through our branches of government at a snail’s pace. It’s so that this country is not subjected to the whims and trends of the prevailing radicals of the day. We are forced to think through our decisions, pass through the checks and balances, and make sure the laws we enact apply to and protect all of us, regardless of our faith.
