Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism issued the following statement challenging Sen. Bill Frist's stated intention to participate in "Justice Sunday:"
"The news that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist plans to join a telecast whose organizing theme is that those who oppose some of President Bush’s judicial nominees are engaged in an assault on 'people of faith' is more than troubling; it is disingenuous, dangerous, and demagogic. We call on him to reconsider his decision to appear on the telecast and to forcefully disassociate himself from this outrageous claim." (for the full statement)
(Eschaton and Kos have also reported on Rabbi Saperstein's statement)
