I am always amazed by the shortsightedness of those in the christian right. A minority religious group wants to destroy the ability of the judiciary to protect minority groups. Hmmm, sounds like a good idea. Reminds of a mexican neo-nazi i once knew.
If they are able to castrate the judiciary, it will only be a matter of time before most christians realize that their brand of christianity has very little to do with the christian right's brand of christianity. Then, hopefully, america rejects the religious right for the hypocritical sham that it is.
I can only imagine what kind of fun laws we can pass, in the spirit of the religious right, without meddling by "activist" judges, to limit the freedoms of those on the religious right. I'm thinking of something along the lines of criminalizing hetero marriage just for evangelicals. Maybe forced abortions for anyone related to pat robertson. There's a lot you can do when you don't have judges meddling in the business of law.
