Title: Inhofe and the Pray in Jesus Name Project

Now newly promoted Judiciary Committee ranking minority Member Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), agrees with pro-faith Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), that we should oppose and filibuster Hamilton's nomination to the 7th Circuit. Thanks in part to our public pressure, the Republicans and Sessions have twice succeeded in delaying Hamilton's committee votes, saying "This a complex area of the law, I'll admit, but it's time for the federal court to get their heads straight on proper separation of church and state issues."


Confirm Judge Hamilton.

It's kinda interesting: Sessions was once a candidate for the Federal Bench, and sits as the ranking member of the same committee that squashed his nomination.
