Interesting how three people take the statement, No, not must, but the question should be asked, and seem to read it as believe, assume, and seriously believe.
If a person had no other information, he could still make a pretty good guess as to which side of the SSAD is wonderful! / No, it isnt debate is on the side of rationality just by watching the reactions of the partisans.
Why would you believe her to be a lesbian if she is a born-again Christian active in her church for 25 years? This makes no sense at best and is a horrible slur against the woman at best...
(1) Lots of people who suffer from SSAD attend church.
(2) When a woman reaches 60 without marrying, it makes a lot of sense to ask the question.
(3) Asking a question is not a slur.
I guess we should assume that nuns are lesbians as well.
(1) Nuns are married to Christ.
(2) So far as I know, Miers has not taken religious vows that would bar marriage.
Do you seriously believe she can't be good person, competent, energetic, intelligent, insightful, diligent, but not married?
(1) I havent expressed any serious belief in this matter.
(2) Do you seriously believe someone can't be a good person, competent, energetic, intelligent, insightful, diligent, but still unfit for high office by reason of same-sex attraction disorder?

Notice that "W" has had two SC nominations and neither one has gone to an Episcopalean.
The days when the Anglican Commune controlled the courts would seem to be over.

Who made you the judge of who is or isn't a born again Christian?
There is only one judge of who is or is not a Christian, of what is really in someone's heart, and it isn't me. I can, however, make judgments based on someones behavior.
Bill Clinton claimed to be a Christian and made sure to carry a bible around and get photographed coming out of church Sunday afternoons. Bill Clinton is a sexual deviant, and an utterly despicable human being. Jimmy Carter talks a lot about his Christianity. Jimmy Carter supports and defends communist dictators. Wasn't there some Christian named Jim Jones?
I don't listen to what they say, I watch what they do and I make judgments about their character accordingly.

So we have to look at other things. Like what those who know her says she believes. Her pastor says she will take an originalist approach. Others have said she takes a rigorous approach to the law. Both speak better of her temperment than any Ivy League pedigree, which IMO teaches arrogance.
Please. Is her pastor a Con Law Prof? Call me old fashioned, but I prefer a paper trail. Bush promised me Scalia/Thomas and gave me "trust me".

ut she goes to the right church. Isn't she a United Methodist? As one myself, I've been extremely disappointed at the direction the UMC has taken in the last decade or so. Certainly not what I'd call "conservative" or "fundamentalist"...

No, I don't want a justice who plans to go to DC to 'roll back' the lib influence. I want a justice whose goal is to uphold the Constitution.Well in order to uphold the Constitution I would think the libs influence would be rolled back

Tommy: Umm, let's say your driving along the road with your family and your driving along, lay le lay, woo whoo, Then all of a sudden there a truck tire in the middle of the road. And you hit the brakes EERRRRRGGGHH! Whoa. That was close. Hah ha! Now, lets see what happens when your driving with the "other guys brake pads". Your driving along, your driving along and all of sudden the kids are yelling from the back seat, "I gotta go the bathroom daddy." Not now damnit! Truck tire. Errrragggghhh! I can't stop! [smashes a model car on desk] There's a cliff. Ahhhhh! And your familys screaming, "Ohh my god we're burning alive! No, I can't feel my legs!" Here comes the meat wagon. WE-OH! WE-OH! WE-OH! And the medic get's out and says, "Ohh my god." New guy is in the corner puking his guts out. All because you wanna save a couple extra pennies. I just want good brake pads. Is that ok? I'm of the mind that it's ok to read the box before I buy.
Sure, I could just buy the brake pads without reading the box.....

While being a "born-again Christian" shouldn't be a bar (no pun intended) to being on the SCOTUS, it certainly shouldn't be considered a qualification for the job."Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports . . . . In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens . . . .
[R]eason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." (President George Washington, September 17, 1796).

She's not married either. She MUST be a lesbian. I bet she's been a spy for Hillary all these years. Hell, maybe she's secretly dating Hillary.
Very very sick thinking!
Same as you would say that Mother Theressa was a lesbian!! Your statement makes me vomit!!!
