Some New Technologies

Most prominent in the public media are concerns about another technology, the
use of lie detectors, which is also based on the assessment of physiological
processes. Questions include how accurate these devices are and whether they
should be used for making administrative decisions. Although the technologies

Trumping Religion

The New Christian Right, the Free Speech Clause, and the Courts

This book is the first scholarly treatment of the strategies employed by the New Christian Right In litigating cases regarding religion using the Free Speech Clause of the United States Constitution. Trumping Religion provides a detailed analysis of the five major public-interest law firms that have litigated religion cases in the federal courts between 1980 and 2000. Steven Brown argues that these organizations have not only stepped up their efforts to participate in religion cases but also fundamentally changed the way religious expression is viewed by the law, appealing not to the free-exercise-of-religion or establishment clauses of the Constitution but to the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. Allied with several highly vocal, evangelical ministries, such as those of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, the legal organizations that litigate for the New Christian Right argue that religious expression is a form of protected speech and thereby gain a greater latitude of interpretation in the courts. This strategy has been criticized by both liberals and conservatives as demeaning to the concepts of belief and worship, yet it has been successful. The long-term agenda of the NCR as illuminated by this study is to shape church-state jurispridence in a way that permits free course for the Christian gospel. This result, they believe, would retard further secularization of the American way of life. Brown presents his research and conclusions from a balanced viewpoint, In filling a distinct void in the literature, this book will be of considerable interest to political scientists, legal scholars, law schools and seminaries, and anyone concerned with the intersection of religion and judicial politics. - Publisher.

Brown. 4 “Incremental Pragmatism” Legal Strategies of the New Christian Right I
learned a great deal studying the strategies of the legal activists of the last thirty
years, among which was how to begin to undo the damage they've caused and
restore some sanity to our jurisprudence. We needed a form of what I called “
incremental pragmatism” in our legal strategy. I knew we could not change things
quickly; ...
