A group of conservative attorneys say they are on a mission from God to unseat four California judges in a rare challenge that is turning a traditionally snooze-button election into what both sides call a battle for the integrity of U.S. courts.

Now this is just ridiculous. For people who want to reform the judiciary these nuts seem woefully ignorant of our basic legal principles. Let me break it down for you, fellas: Democracy = State - Church.
In before "OMG UR SO ATHIEST!!1!!!ONE!" - Catholic, actually. One who is very conscious of my Church's history of political activism and its consequences. Christianity today is so divided that even if we were give these people some measurable credit for sanity and do as they suggest, establish a Christian theocracy here in the U.S., within two years we would find ourselves living in early post-Reformation Europe: Lutherans against Catholics against Calvinists against Anabaptists against all of the smaller denominations that have their roots in these early breakaway groups. There would be no end to it. These people's plans would make things MORE chaotic, not less.
