The NYT also has this write-up about “Just Us” Sunday II:
Stepping up efforts to rally churchgoers for a Supreme Court confirmation battle, Christian conservatives are organizing a telecast to churches and religious broadcasters denouncing the Supreme Court as hostile to religion and families.
The event, scheduled for Aug. 14 and called Justice Sunday II after a similar telecast in April, will focus on “the court’s hostility toward religion and Christianity in particular,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council and the principal organizer of the event. Its subtitle is a prayer said each time the court meets: “God save the United States and this Honorable Court.”
The telecast was organized by some of the most influential conservative Christian supporters of the Bush administration after Justice Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement. But its organizers are evidently disregarding White House requests not to inject talk of a culture war into the debate over a Supreme Court nominee.
“People have to understand, this is not just about a process,” Mr. Perkins said. “This is about the future of the country, it is about our families, it is about the freedom of religion.”
Shorter Tony Perkins: ‘It’s for the children.’
