"This is precisely what America need's on the Supreme Court."
I would have thought that someone who has dedicated their life to preserving the original intent of the constitution is precisely what we need on the supreme court, but oh well.
Her judge-friend also says that she treats the Constitution just like she does the Bible- what is says is what it means.

I think we can do both.
the underlying thought is that the FRAMERS' mindset had a belief in a deity, a God, if you will. Such belief has not been evident in our Courts for at least a generation or two. When God got kicked out of our schools and the public forum, the laws started to change in a direction those FRAMERS could not have imagined. Perhaps by aligning with their belief in the deity, Ms. Miers' decisions will reflect that original intent.
It is. Christians tend to think along the lines that, when a thing is authored, it means what it says. They're not into word games, moral relativism, and the like. At the same time, Christians understand the Consitution is a human document governing people of all faiths, and so wish to see it applied as it was intended.
If this nominee is intent upon turning the USA into a theocracy she is not fit for the office. I'm sure a good many whiny, hand-wringing ninnies would believe just that.
