In case I didn’t make it clear in my last post, the so-called “Justice Sunday” telecast that went out tonight turns my stomach. I feel that the Christian leaders who have signed on to the Republican agenda with regard to judicial nominations have prostrated themselves at the altar of Republican politics and have placed their political ideology above their faith.
Listen, although I’m not particularly fond of the idea of the Republicans being able to ram any and all right-wing extremist judges through the confirmation process by getting rid of the filibuster, it’s their right to try it if they want (and the Democrats’ right to shut down the Senate in response). That’s politics.
But what nauseates me in this regard is the way that people who supposedly call Jesus their Lord are abusing their positions of authority to support a particular brand of secular politics. Instead of seeking the lost - instead of feeding the poor - they are using their positions to ram through the Republican agenda.
They are selling themselves out far too cheaply.
