Conservative seeks to curb religious excess
When a group of about 15 students and West Philadelphia residents gathered on the second floor of the Penn Bookstore on Wednesday, they expected to hear a lecture on the need to protect religious interests.
Little did they know that Marci Hamilton, a constitutional-law expert and lifelong Republican, would be presenting a much different story.

Hamilton, who graduated magna cum laude from the Penn Law School and worked as a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, believes firmly that legislators have been "senseless and thoughtless" in dealing with religious groups during the past few decades.

As she presented her new book God vs. the Gavel: Religion and the Rule of Law, she made it clear that the carte blanche awarded to religious groups in this country is downright dangerous.

1. What she is, the word "conservative" no longer means.
