Sorry, but it was a moral compromise for any Christian to vote for Arnold.

Agreed, but I would submit that life is full of compromises, even for believers. In fact, voting for McClintock would have been a compromise would it not; he's not perfect. Jesus wasn't running for governor of Californy. We do the best we can in a world in which the evil one runs amok.

They can (1) impeach bad judges, (2) use the Exclusion Clause in the Constitution to limit court power.

Good grief marine, they can't even get their own judges approved. You might submit they aren't fighting hard enough, but I personally don't know what else they could do. BTW, would you cite the exclusion clause you refer to?

No, the moral choice was clear. You cannot make a biblical case that voting for the Christian candidate was wrong, but I can easily make a case that voting for Ahh-nold was wrong. Please, do not try to rationalize this sin.

Actually, I misspoke - it is the Exceptions Clause. It's in article 3 and it enumerates certain cases over which the federal judiciary would have original jurisdiction, "with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make." Look it up.
