Opposition to judiciary is "about religious belief."

Says who? Says Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council and organizer of "Justice Sunday," which featured a taped speech by Senator Bill Frist. (The event itself was termed a "declaration of religious war" by evangelical leader Jim Wallis.) Perkins was also a host at Thursday's $250/plate rally for corrupt Majority Leader Tom DeLay. James Guckert/Jeff Gannon was also there.

What Perkins writes in a WaPo op-ed:

"Leon Holmes and his wife were put to the test because he wrote an article for a church newsletter about the relationship between husbands and wives based upon Ephesians 5:22-25. Judge Charles Pickering was questioned about a statement he made as the head of the Mississippi Southern Baptist Convention, in which he said that the Bible is an "absolute authority" for human conduct -- a standard that just about any religious person would hold."

The thing is, this shows exactly why these nominees are opposed-- for ignoring the laws of the nation in favor of Biblical law, even if it means depriving citizens of their constitutional rights.
