Filibusters and Religion

Two related posts appear on this blog today. They are related in 2 ways:

(1) they each pertain in some way to the Democrat filibuster of President Bush's judicial nominees; and

(2) they each involve prominent Democrats making weird religious references that seem like complete nonsequiturs.

Here are the links to each of the posts:

So-Called "Nuclear Option" to Eliminate Filibuster on Judges Is "Heresy," Gore Says

Salazar Backs Off "Antichrist" Comment

As I say in one of the above-referenced posts, when Democrat pollsters tell Democrat politicians to use religious talk in order to appeal to "values voters", I don't think labeling their opponents as "heretics" and "the Antichrist" is quite what they have in mind.
