PHILADELPHIA - Prominent conservatives plan to broadcast from a Baptist church on the eve of the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito.
The Jan. 8 program, "Justice Sunday III: Proclaim Liberty Throughout the Land," follows two previous gatherings designed to rally support for conservative positions on abortion, gay marriage, prayer in public schools and other issues.
Christian television and radio stations across the country plan to broadcast the event from the Greater Exodus Baptist Church in Philadelphia. Scheduled speakers include U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R.-Pa., and James Dobson of the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family.
The earlier events were held during the Senate showdown over judicial filibusters in April and before Chief Justice John Roberts' confirmation hearings in August.
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, spoke at the second event in Nashville, while Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Miss., spoke at the first one in Louisville, Ky. Protesters accused speakers of trying to impose their religious views on the country.

Amen! May the Left gnash their teeth and turn to dust...or better yet, repent. I'll settle for either.
