Pat Robertson praying for Supreme Court Justices to die?
Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 10:16 PM by SofaKingLiberal
I just caught a clip on the Daily show where he was praying and said something about "making additional vacancies on the court".

Has anyone heard anything about this, or is it just business as usual?

5. I think he did it along time ago also.
He said he wanted them to retire and said he was misunderstood. But I was under the impression that on his show, he asked for God to take them home or alluded to that.

CNN) -- Televangelist Pat Robertson has asked his audience to pray to God for three justices to leave the U.S. Supreme Court. He would like to see them replaced with more conservative justices.

On the Web site of his Christian Broadcasting Network, he said, "One justice is 83 years old, another has cancer and another has a heart condition. Would it not be possible for God to put it in the minds of these three judges that the time has come to retire?"

His appeal followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that decriminalized sodomy. On his Web site, he said this ruling opened the door to, among other things, homosexual marriages and bigamy.
