Why would you think that? I stated what I thought should be the qualifications of a Justice on several posts. Was that a "strawman" comment ?

Because by your words you seek a judge with an religious ideology, which pretty well defines a fundamentalist philosophy as presented in Judicial Philosophy Preference?. If I am mistaken and you actually seek a non-ideological minimalist, let me apologize. |

I simply want a judge who does not legislate from the bench. I don't need anymore federal interference in my life than that agreed to when the founders settled upon the constitution. I believe they were religious by nature, that "GOD" had a hand in inspiring the documents and they should stand the test of time as originally intended. My fight on a religious basis is with Satan. You can't legislate what is in the hearts of the citizens. And that is what judges have been doing. |

OK, then I misunderstood. Some were religious--some Christian, some Deists, some secular, some called atheists--all moral men. |

What I find somewhat entertaining about this nomination is the follwing. People are picking on Roberts and bringing up his Catholicism and he could not be fairly voted against for that reason but we will public state over and over that Miers is a firm Evangelical who believe the "right" way and should be trusted on pro life issues thus she should be approved. I guess bringing religion into the equation is god or bad depending on whether it supports your objective. |
