Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State has this article on BeliefNet: Bullies in the Pulpit Challenge Law.  He writes: “It seems to me that all this posturing is just one more effort by the so-called “Religious Right” to gain more clout.  It is about its incessant effort to tell how Americans should act from the moment of conception until the moment of death (which you guys also want to define, by the way).”

Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice offers this counterpoint: “Big Brother” Has Got to Go. He writes: “Barry, we both agree that our constitutional tradition continues to recognize the freedom to speak from the pulpit about the moral issues of the day. We obviously disagree, however, on whether “Big Brother” government surveillance, investigation, and punishment of churches due to the content of their speech should be stopped once and for all. The thought of Washington bureaucrats sifting through sermon recordings should be unsettling for all people of faith.”
