"California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown told an audience Sunday that people of faith were embroiled in a "war" against secular humanists who threatened to divorce America from its religious roots" Which goes a long way towards explaining the filibuster.

"There seems to have been no time since the Civil War that this country was so bitterly divided. It's not a shooting war, but it is a war," she said, according to a report published Monday in the Stamford Advocate. And they laughed when I posted that we were close to civil war in this country. ;~) "These are perilous times for people of faith," she said, "not in the sense that we are going to lose our lives, but in the sense that it will cost you something if you are a person of faith who stands up for what you believe in and say those things out loud." I don't understand what they think they're losing. They get to pray as much as they want and some of our most important holidays are devoted to celebrating a figure that they adore who may or may not have existed. A spokeswoman for the California Supreme Court, Lynn Holton, said no text was available because "it was a talk, not a speech." Brown's office did not dispute the newspaper's account. What a surprise! An attorney first, a person of faith second. ;~) ted
