This fight over judges is a fight for all Americans against activist liberal justices, This is not just a fight for fundamentalist Christians. You turn this solely into a Religious right issue, we will lose big time.

The Constitution of the US is based on Judeo-Christian Values.

The only way we will lose if we go your way the cowards way and ignore our Judeo-Christian heritage!

" The Constitution of the US is based on Judeo-Christian Values."

Really? Where does the bible or the torah say how old a person has to be to hold office? Or what the job of Congress is?

Many of our laws are based on Judeo-Christian values, but not the US Constitution. It is a fine line between legislating those moral traditions which help society continue and legislating morals that force people to live their lives a certain way. The US also has a tradition of letting people live their lives as they see fit.

Which Constitution?

Not The United States Constitution.

Besides the 18th & 21st Amendment  which are both covered there is nothing in the Bible that remotely resembles our Constitution.

Romans 13

13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

1 Timothy 2

2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Can you point me to anyone in the Bible that says anything remotely like "consent of the Governed" or Freedom of Speech?

The only way we will lose if we go your way the cowards way and ignore our Judeo-Christian heritage!

Just like you've won the abortion issue or gotten prayer forced back into schools
