XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX TUE OCT 04, 2005 18:02:01 ET XXXXX
MIERS FOUND CHRIST, TURNED REPUBLICAN
By 1979, Harriet Miers, then in her mid-30s, had accomplished what some people take a lifetime to achieve. She was a partner at Locke Purnell Boren Laney & Neely, one of the most prestigious law firms in the South.
But she still felt something was missing in her life.
The NEW YORK TIMES is set to splash the "something" on Page Ones on Wednesday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
It was after a series of long discussions with Nathan Hecht, a junior colleague and sweetheart, that led her to a decision that many of the people around her say changed Miers life.
"She decided that she wanted faith to be a bigger part of her life," Hecht said. "One evening she called me to her office and said she was ready to make a commitment," to accept Jesus Christ as her savior and be born again, Hecht said. Miers became an evangelical Christian and began identifying more with the Republican Party than with the Democrats who had long held sway over Texas politics. Developing...

I believe you can rest easy. It is bound to stay an atheocracy. Atheists are too powerful and have a death grip on the American jugular.
people who have a knowlege of God, but don't "know"
Rom 1:21 Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.
All people at one time knew God but turned away from Him. I believe that is why you saw their actions as "demonic" because they know deep down in their hearts God does exist and they want to bury Him deep. You won't get this kind of reaction out of somebody who has been able to.
John kerry calimed to be a christian,too.
What kind of supreme court justice would he make?
I judge people based on the actions they take, not the labels they choose.
Best of the night for this thread
It may seem like a crap shoot to you, but it is far from it. The fact that GWB made a decision unlike common lines of thought tells me that he is not operating out of fear, politics, or ulterior motives, but with informed judgment as to what is best for our country at this time in our history.
"John kerry calimed to be a christian,too.

I didn't see Jay Sekulo, James Dobson, Chuck Colson, American Center for Law & Justice, and Orin Hatch endorse John Kerry; did you?
"you people" was used becuase Rush says it, people hate it, and it amuses me. Your reaction sort of illustrates why I used it.
Aunt harriet - well, Mark Belling was talking today about the only two known harriets in the last hundred years, and he struck upon either harriet nelson (of ozzY and harriet fame) or aunt harriet from batman. He decided, and I agree, that 'aunt harriet' is the best nickname.
It's called a sense of humor. You might want to invest in one some day.
"with informed judgment as to what is best for our country at this time in our history."
So, is his informed judgement on how he's handling our border security and illegal immigration crisis what's best for our country at this point in history?
The problems don't happen when you question your leaders, the problems happen when you fail to question them. Blind acceptance of a political leader is just as bad as the left blindly condeming everything Bush does.
Maybe she thought the void she was feeling could be filled by her professional life? How long is so long? It took me into my 30's.
but I believe Rush today had some excellent commentary on this nomination,
Yes. Rush also emphasized POTUS leads a Senate army of with many Republican wimps.
"I didn't see Jay Sekulo, James Dobson, Chuck Colson, American Center for Law & Justice, and Orin Hatch endorse John Kerry; did you?"
And I don't see religious affiliation being more important the constitutional philosphy when it comes to a lifetime appointment on the supreme court.
Which matters more: What a religious leader says about the religous nature of a candidate, or how that candidate will rule when it comes to the constitution?
No. Wisdom comes with age. A jurist too young will morph unpredictably. If anything 60 years old ought to be the minimum age to hold the office. I just love how everything about GWB's choice pisses everyone off because he steps outside of conventional wisdom. That's what happens when a man is able to see the bigger picture and act out of wisdom instead of emotion.
"No. Wisdom comes with age."
Wrong again.
Wisdom comes with experience.
Otherwise, if you somehow believe that a Supreme Court Justice should be the equivalent of an elected official, I urge you to dust off your copy of the Constititution.
I just read a book about the upbrings of presidents; it said that in the Bush family the sons traditionally are competitive with their fathers. GHW Bush's father was rich and lived in Connecticut, but GWB went to public school in Midland because GHWB had not made it on his own. When he did, they moved to Houston.So when GWB started out, he moved away from Houston to Midland. And Jeb moved to Florida, becoming a millionare on his own before George did even though he was seven years younger. The code of the Bush clan is that the sons start out on their own (getting help from anyone other than Dad is OK), and they don't communicate that much between father and son. Jeb ran for Governor of FL at the same time GWB ran for Governor of TX, and would have been in line to challenge in '00 if Lawton Chiles hadn't beaten him with a dishonest, under-the-radar push-poll campaign. I guess we can say that things could really have gotten interesting if Jeb had won that campaign and been a six-year incumbent governor in '00 just like George.
But the point is that GWB is competitive with his father and, having promised to name justices like Scalia or Thomas, he isn't interested in coming up with any Justice Souters in his resume. Reagan had O'Connor and Kennedy to answer for, too. I don't think that will happen to George W. Bush. It's a way for him to outshine even the Gipper, and I don't think he'll blow it.
Are you actually suggesting that the viewpoint of a major- conservative-legal institution (ACLJ) that fights liberalism everyday in the courts means nothing? I think you've crossed over the bridge of cynicism.
The RATS worst nightmare. They will have to Bork her based on her faith.
Remember Reid already said she is qualified.
