Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Catholic groups determined not to let Supreme Court nominee's faith be an issue

From Kevin Eckstrom of the Religion News Service:

Catholic groups on Wednesday said that they would guard against any attempt to use religious faith to derail the nomination of Judge John Roberts, a devout Catholic, to the U.S. Supreme Court.

To make the point explicitly clear, they pointed to the very Constitution that Roberts would swear to uphold and its prohibition against using any type of "religious test" as a qualification for higher office.
