Supreme Court Vacancy

Evangelicals' opinion of the Supreme Court has dropped dramatically in recent years. Many religious conservatives have complained that the court, rather than interpreting the law, is making the law.

Now, with the retirement of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, conservatives see an opportunity to turn the court in their favor. Below is our continuing coverage.
