President Bush is the one telling us we need to consider her religious background -- maybe we should be asking him if he applied a religious test to her nomination.
The WH consistently downplayed Roberts' conservative Catholicism but now they publicly advocate for Miers by saying her religious background "should be considered." Apparently they were against considering religious backgrounds in SC nominees before they were for it.
"Religious test" was not on my mind after either nomination -- I really didn't think it would be an issue. It's President Bush that's made this one.
I think if we ask the WH... they'll just say that no test was applied or administered. They will say BTW.... for all you conservative christians... she shares a lot of your beliefs. For all of you strict constitutionalists.... she shares a lot of your beliefs. For all you liberals... well.... we're not going to tell you much, so you have to find out for yourselves.... if you think you can :)
