The Christianity Today blog has a good story on the inaptly-named “Justice Sunday II” that recently was held in Nashville. (Hat tip: Mirror of Justice). I share the dismay of the CT and MOJ bloggers about this farce. Supreme Court nominees are important, and there no doubt are many problems with the Court, but these concerns are grossly overstated and miss the Biblical concept of “justice” entirely. Biblical “justice” starts with what we do in our daily lives. When the evangelical “leaders” who stage things like “Justice Sundays” present a deep and consistent picture of compassion for “the least of these,” then maybe I’ll listen to something they might have to say about the U.S. Supreme Court. For now, they haven’t convinced me that they’re capable of anything beyond serving as Republican Party shills.
