Broadcaster Pat Robertson calls for retirement of justices
Tuesday, July 15, 2003 Posted: 8:56 AM EDT (1256 GMT)

VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (AP) -- Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson urged his nationwide audience Monday to pray for God to remove three justices from the Supreme Court so they could be replaced by conservatives.

"We ask for miracles in regard to the Supreme Court," Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "The 700 Club."

Robertson has launched a 21-day "prayer offensive" directed at the Supreme Court in the wake of its 6-3 June vote that decriminalized sodomy. Robertson said in a letter on the CBN Web site that the ruling "has opened the door to homosexual marriage, bigamy, legalized prostitution and even incest."

The same letter targets three justices in particular: "One justice is 83-years-old, another has cancer and another has a heart condition. Would it not be possible for God to put it in the minds of these three judges that the time has come to retire?"

Judging from the descriptions, Robertson was referring to Justice John Paul Stevens, who was born in 1920, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who had colon cancer surgery in 1999. The identity of the third justice was unclear.

Wouldn't it be possible for god to hurl down a couple of firebolts from the sky right on top of Mr. Robertson ?

By the time I got to the end of your post, Rokenn, I half expected to read he was praying for the 3 Justices deaths. I guess I should not expect the worst from Pat, should I?

Same thought here. If those 3 justices die this week, can we arrest Pat for conspiring with God??

Would the charge be Conspiracy to Commit Assension?

Just out of curiosity, who takes Pat Robertson seriously?

What did you expect? It comforting to me that people like Robertson discredit themselves with their own narrowness. I pray he keeps it up.

This is the part that realy gets me, leave it to Pat Robertson to make "prayer offensive". It is all of this narrow mindedness that made his prostate swell up like a bagel and go cancerous, either that or God was trying to send him a message and Pat just didnt get it.

I get the feeling that if there is a God, he put ole Pat on his "ignore" list long ago.
