He's worked with closely Miers for 11 years. They're both Born Again Christians. She has no paper trail. Bingo, we get one of our own on the Supreme Court! What more do you want?
I don't know how much that tells us. Left-wing pro-abort Moby is also a "born-again" Christian, as is Jimmy Carter. Hillary Clinton fancies herself an Evangelical. I'm not sure that Bush genuinely favors a Constructionist approach to interpretation of the Constitution, and I have come across "Culture of Life" statements in which he has said he opposes the reversal of Roe v. Wade and subsequent illegalization of abortion in some states, as our culture is "not ready" to stop terminating children. I don't know if this is the "born again" approach to the issue. I'm also curious about the fact that Miers and Bush have been attending St. John's Episcopal Church in recent years. Episcopal churches in large cities are not usually the best place for conservative Christians, but would fit better with Bush's support of Embryonic Stem Cell research. Maybe liberal religion is the source of his change of heart on gay civil marriage?
