The political earthquake in Massachusetts with the election of Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate on January 19 was not the only political earthquake that took place last week. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court’s earthquake may have set free some political captives that no one is much talking about.

The Scott Brown election saw the people of Massachusetts speak loud and clear when it came to not allowing the entrenched political machinery in their state speak for them. Perhaps Washington politicians will “hear” and give more regard to the people who elect them. But it seems that message didn’t trickle down to everyone in Tennessee state government last week.

This month marks the 37th anniversary of a day that will live in infamy just as the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, is also a date that will live in infamy. On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case of Roe v. Wade, made it legal for our nation to murder its own children by what doctors call an abortion. Here is at least one pastor’s perspective on the issue.
