I wrote a diary last night riffing on the NY Times story out today detailing how Senator Frist has decided to use religion to win his political war over the filibuster. Now I see Armando has posted on the WaPo version of the story. His post is excellent but mine is different enough that I'm going to go ahead and post it as well. It's cross-posted over at MyDD.

Although John McCain came out against removing the filibuster, any doubt that the Republican leadership plans to turn the war over judges into a religious battle should now be put to rest. David D. Kirkpatrick, in a remarkable article in the NY Times, Frist Set to Use Religious Stage on Judicial Issue, reports that the filibuster is being described as "against people of faith" by a group of Frist-allied Christian Organizations.
