Many newspapers this morning are reporting on the Justice Sunday II program that originated last night in Nashville and was broadcast to churches around the country. Sponsored by prominent Christian conservatives, Justice Sunday II was titled "God Save the United States and This Honorable Court". (See prior posting.) Typical of reports on the program is this article from the Chicago Tribune . Most political attention focused on remarks by Congressman Tom DeLay who said that the Constitution assigned Congress the power to make laws, but "this fact ... has been forgotten in recent decades by too many members of the American judiciary, including, most notably, the United States Supreme Court itself." A more interesting proposal was the one by the president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, William Donohue. He urged a constitutional amendment to provide that "unless a judicial vote is unanimous, you cannot overturn a law created by Congress."
Also, a dozen bloggers entered live postings from the Justice Sunday II rally. Links to them are on the Justice Sunday II website.
