While I can find nothing wrong with President Bush considering the religious beliefs of Miers, this is likely to raise some questions among opponents of her nomination...at least from those on the left.

Well, I can. It is unconstitutional to make such considerations. "...but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

Why do you consider it a test?

[Bush 100 Percent]

There is NO religious TEST. Do you want the Pres. to nominate someone without considering her character? Her religion is a indicator of her character. Notice I said indicator. Should we now have to hide the role of our religion in our lives in this country? People can mention everything else about the candidates lives, but not their religion? It's a key part of who she is.
