Supreme Court Taking It on Faith

Later this month, on February 28, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on its first "faith" case in front of the new bench that includes President Bush’s two appointees -- Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito. The case, known as Hein v. Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), is a challenge to Bush’s faith-based funding program.

The case dates to 2004, and while the issue before the court is somewhat narrow, the litigation is definitely an example of people taking action to stop the steady religious takeover of government. According to White House figures, $2.15 billion in taxpayer funds went to faith-based institutions in 2005.
