Pat Robertson: Appealing to a Higher Power
I usually skip the Thursday editorial sections and think Robertson
is a snake oil salesman but I have to agree that justices that select a president should go (I think he's talking about praying for the retirement of the more rational judges though...)

Appealing to a Higher Power
Why we should pray to God for three Supreme Court justices to retire.
By Pat Robertson

July 17, 2003

Americans are a patient and law-abiding people. But for too long we have watched as the justices on the nation's highest court have legislated from the bench.

These justices have taken what was to be our nation's road map for the people — the U.S. Constitution — and turned it on its head.

For more than half a century, the U.S. Supreme Court has acted as a "super legislature" — no longer interpreting the Constitution, but rather writing and proclaiming its own law.

1. Pat Robertson didn't fault the Supreme Court when they "selected" his
boy, George W Bush to be president!....He was rather happy about that decision...He's pretty selective in his indignation, it seems to me....Robertson is a scary zealot! :scared:

2. Is he trying to get one of his crazier subscribers

to go and off one of these Justices with the proclamation that it was gods will?


Thinking back to my early days in Catholicism: now what was that about false prophets in revelation?

3. I cannot imagine that Pat Robertson is appealing to anyone.
IMHO
