“That ... my FRiends is very revealing and troubling. He may render some good decisions. We shall see. But anyone that attends an extremist liberal church like that is ... suspect IMO. “

While I tend to agree with this, he did state that he had previously rendered decisions he did not personally agree with. Di-fi even lamented he might follow the law more than his emotions. I want a Justice who will follow the constitution, not his feelings.

Yes. I certainly agree with that statement.

I just want a judge who can apply the law as it exists to a set of facts and will interpret and apply the Constitution as our Framers intended it. A judge who will look to the plain meaning of the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land.

That may result in the judge having to make some rulings he finds personally repugnant. He has the same remedy for that as we do—lobby the legislature to get the law changed.

His own personal views on any topic mean NOTHING. Provided, of course that he is if the truly sterling character we must demand for our judiciary.
