High Court Struggles With Military Funeral Protest Case
By not in system - AOL News
WASHINGTON (Oct. 6) -- Supreme Court justices on Wednesday pondered the vexing question of whether the father of a dead Marine should win his lawsuit against a fundamentalist church group that picketed his son's funeral.

Romney and the Legacy of JFK
By Justin Paulette - Politics Daily"If Romney wants to get significant Southern Baptist and evangelical support he's going to have to give a Kennedy-style speech." - Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. While campaigning for the presidency in 1960, JFK gave a historic speech to southern evangelicals in which he explained (some say rebuked) his Catholicism. Most historians agree that the speech, which assured Baptists that Kennedy would not take marching orders from the Pope, was a necessary pre-condition to his eventual election as the first Catholic in the White ...
