Judge not, lest ye be judged

“Very few people know this, that the Congress can simply disenfranchise a court,” [James C.] Dobson said. “They don’t have to fire anybody or impeach them or go through that battle. All they have to do is say the 9th Circuit doesn’t exist anymore, and it’s gone.”

Evangelical Christian leaders, who have been working closely with senior Republican lawmakers to place conservative judges in the federal courts, have also been exploring ways to punish sitting jurists and even entire courts viewed as hostile to their cause.

An audio recording obtained by the Los Angeles Times features two of the nation’s most influential evangelical leaders, at a private conference with supporters, laying out strategies to rein in judges, such as stripping funding from their courts in an effort to hinder their work.

The discussion took place during a Washington conference last month that included addresses by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who discussed efforts to bring a more conservative cast to the courts.

One thought on “Judge not, lest ye be judged”

  1. Big Brother is not only watching but is in total control of every aspect of our country. Big Brother is not the Government per se but rather the so called Christian Majority. I had no idea that Congress could do that, I thought they were in for life. It is sickening, and to think there was a time I believed so much in what was preached. However, predjudice was never a part of my believes, nor was it ever my intention to think one religion was better than any other and that they should control our every movement. Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech is getting to be a crock of s—So much on that.
