The Left will then do what they always do and make themselves look like idiots by attacking her personal religious beliefs.

I thought from the beginning that that was probably Bush's ploy: Put up an Evangelical woman candidate, get the Democrats to hammer her for her religion, and that way get them to weaken themselves even further in the heartland. A woman works better for this than a man, because it makes them look worse when they hammer her.

The only trouble with this ploy is that she isn't qualified to sit on the court and is only doubtfully conservative.

Unlike some, I will not say that she is not qualified. I do not think that you need to be a judge or a Constitutional scholar to serve on the Supreme Court or to interpret the Constitution. My objection is that we should not be in a position where we are "doubtful" concerning how she will rule.
