WASHINGTON - Evangelical Christian leaders, who have been working closely
with senior Republican lawmakers to place conservative judges in the federal
courts, have also been exploring ways to punish sitting jurists and even
entire courts viewed as hostile to their cause.


An audio recording obtained by the Los Angeles Times features two of the
nation's most influential evangelical leaders, at a private conference with
supporters, laying out strategies to rein in judges, such as stripping
funding from their courts in an effort to hinder their work.


The discussion took place during a Washington conference last month that
included addresses by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Senate Majority
Leader Bill Frist, who discussed efforts to bring a more conservative cast
to the courts.

"There's more than one way to skin a cat, and there's more than one way to
take a black robe off the bench," said Tony Perkins, president of the
conservative Family Research Council, according to an audiotape of a March
17 session. The tape was provided to The Times by the advocacy group
Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

it's conservative fundies. Let them go ahead. When any of their kind get falsely charged with a crime and have to find a way out of the legal system to hell with them I say. Gotta break a few eggs to make an omlet and all that.

because they will be above it all just as bu$h&co are.

they can just claim religious persecution as they love to do so often.

I wonder how long before someone sticks that on the net?
