Description: Justice Antonin will be remembered as a man of enormous faith, generosity and intelligence. He was strongly committed to conservative values, but also had a close friendship with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Instead of our normal news break, Al recounts some of Scalia’s most important moments.
Description: In the wake of the 2004 election, pundits were shocked at exit polling that showed that 22% of voters thought 'moral values' was the most important issue at stake. People on both sides of the political divide believed this was the key to victory for George W. Bush, who professes a deep and abiding faith in God. In honor of President’s Day, Gary Scott Smith joins us to discuss the faith lives of several of the most influential US Presidents.
