Anti-Abortion Activist Says She Prayed with Sitting Supreme Court Justices
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rolling Stone magazine reports a prominent Capitol Hill evangelical
leader was caught on a hot mic boasting that she has prayed with sitting
Supreme Court justices. The disclosure by anti-abortion activist Peggy
Nienaber suggests a major conflict of interest with the court: Her
ministry's umbrella organization, Liberty Counsel, filed an amicus brief
in the landmark case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, which overturned
50 years of Supreme Court precedent on abortion rights.
