What we need is an originalist - no matter how many times he or she has been born.
You're missing the point. I don't give a crap whether she's Evangelical, Catholic or Buddhist....as long as she doesn't approve of shredding babies, keeps her hands off my weapons and can read the Constitution, she's qualified and to the right of O'Connor.
Good news, she appears likely to be an originalist!
Based on:
1) President Bush nominating of her, his prior statements of what he was looking for in a nominee, and his statements on why he chose her.
2) Interviews with her cohorts in Texas, including TX Supreme Court Judge Nathan Hecht.
3) All the excellent lower court nominees that President Bush has nominated, all of whom had to pass muster with the gatekeeper Miers. If she chose them to recommend to Pres. Bush, doesn't that probably give insight into her philosophy? If her philosophy were different but she did so just to meet Pres. Bush's wishes, why would he have put her in charge of such an important task in the first place?
Three solid indicators that she is likely an originalist, though of course it isn't definitive proof. What similar indicators do you have (if any) to suggest that she isn't an originalist?
