The Radical Christian Jihad against the Constituion

The New York Times reports that Senator Bill Frist is ready to join the American Taliban's jihad against the US constitution.

As the Senate heads toward a showdown over the rules governing judicial confirmations, Senator Bill Frist, the majority leader, has agreed to join a handful of prominent Christian conservatives in a telecast portraying Democrats as "against people of faith" for blocking President Bush's nominees.
Fliers for the telecast, organized by the Family Research Council and scheduled to originate at a Kentucky megachurch the evening of April 24, call the day "Justice Sunday" and depict a young man holding a Bible in one hand and a gavel in the other. The flier does not name participants, but under the heading "the filibuster against people of faith," it reads: "The filibuster was once abused to protect racial bias, and it is now being used against people of faith."

The "Nuclear Option" is the product of the Radical Christian right. Frist is now putting himself firmly in the Christian jihadists camp. As the Terri Schiavo fiasco showed us that 70 to 80% of the American people are not in that camp. Major conservative pundits like George Will have come out against the "Nuclear Option" and sometimes moderate John McCain has said he will vote against it.
Dr. Frist is leaving the Senate next year to run for president. I think he will find that joining the Radical Christian jihad was the wrong political move.

Update
Joe Gandelman has some thoughts and a run down on what some others think. Most agree that Frist is on the wrong side.
