According to TheocracyWatch, Connecticut US Congressman Christopher Shays says that “The Republican party of Lincoln has become a party of theocracy.” Gross… seriously. Didn’t I just mention this earlier? About a need for separation of church and state? However, the same site gives evidence in such separation. I’m not sure what to think of this… well, I can think of a few, but I’d rather not feel that aggravated before I sleep.
Today, the Supreme Court made a 5-4 decision that the 10 Commandments cannot be posted or viewed under religious persuasions in a courtroom. (see: Roy Moore) Thank God for that… seriously, if that case won, all of Alabama would be in an uproar to elect Moore as Governor (not that half the state isn’t already). I’m shocked and surprised that the Rehnquist court didn’t go the other way with the decision. But, I’m very satisfied with the decision…
As am I with the non-announce-able, presumed retirement for Rehnquist. I’m praying that he can hold on and stay strong until 2008. I mean, not that I really like him… he’s still a little right-wing for my taste, BUT, he keeps any of the extreme conservatives from being appointed from the Bush administration. And that, my friends, is a huge positive.
Now, just as I’ve said that, Rehnquist will retire tomorrow… here’s hoping he’ll be around for a while. Maybe even he is nervous about who W might put on the bench.
