I know we’re not supposed to post links with no substantive commentary, but I wanted to let folks know about this one :-).

The ACLU Freedom Files: Religious Freedom
http://www.aclu.tv/religious (ed. note: link was updated to YouTube, but the video doesn’t seem to be up anymore)

The right of every American to practice his or her own religion, or no religion at all, is among the most fundamental of freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. But while the United States is home to more than 1,500 different faiths and some 360,000 houses of worship, religious freedom faces threats on many fronts. This episode of The ACLU Freedom Files will introduce you to people who fought back challenges to this essential civil liberty.

We don’t have cable, so no Court TV for us (though I’m going to have a go at seeing if we can get it online), but if others want to use this diary to talk about the show after it’s aired, at least that will make it more than just a link :-).
