Christian Defense Coalition to Congress Concerning Senate Confirmations - Do Not Repeat Religious Discrimination

The Christian Defense Coalition issued a warning concerning the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge John Roberts. The Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, stated, "No citizen in America should be discriminated against because of their religious beliefs and faith. During the confirmation process of John Ashcroft for Attorney General, Minority Leader Harry Reid made the extraordinarily troubling statement that '...we have a right to look at John Ashcroft's religion.' This statement sadly reminds us that religious bigotry still exists in America."
