Samual Alito

Happy Reformation Day - see I do not hate you all!

Seriously though - I would like to know if any of you are concerned about the Supreme Court possibly having five Catholics sitting on the Court (four if you do not count pro-abort Kennedy). I honestly would have thought that Bush would have sought out another Evangelical or a Baptist or another woman. I would have been pleased with anyone pro-life, regardless of their faith, but I am happy with the Catholic Alito.

I won't say for certain, but I'd rather have a pro-life, conservative Catholic on the Supreme court than a pro-abortion, liberal Christian.

Maybe if they could have gotten an old plain mennonite judge...

a Catholic Supreme Court Justice cannot promote major dogma's of the faith and make them law. The benifit to having a catholic on the supreme court is that Bush knows the things Conservative evangelicals will agree with, and that a true roman catholic wont back down on issues like abortion and same sex marriage cases, these issues are what matter in the legal realm not so much their theology.

I don't care who is on the bench, so long as they do their job; interpret the Constitution. Oh, and not make new laws. :D

[Ragamuffins]

I could care less who is there. I am too cynical at this point to give to shakes about what politicians and their friends are up to. JFK was a Catholic and he was no moral bastion of strenghth and Clinton is a Baptist and he wasn't either, so I don't think it matters a bit.

As far as Bush coverting, I could care less.

Holy cow, yet another thing we agree on...............this is truly a miracle................LOL ;)

[Andyman_1970]

Why does it matter if he is a Christian or not, let alone an evangelical one - are we in saying this is important to us in some way trying to create a theocracy?
