You're right. Christianity is not "a church." Jefferson was afraid of "the church," not of religion itself.

Durbin is such a piece of work. He is saying such loathesome stuff that I can't even think of a good comment.

I wonder what would happen if some Senator, in these hearings, gave the NAMES of the Senators who would vote against him?

Wouldn't that be cool?

yeah, I know.....dream on.....

"SC not a roving commission"......"Not a right to rewrite laws as you see fit." paraphrasing Cornyn.... ".....SC got off track with disallowing people to express their faith in public".

Alito said this? Excellent!

I'd like to borrow Karl Rove's hurricane machine and blow Durbin into outer space.
