I'm not seeing it. It was coincidental that a bad pick like Miers was an Evangelical. Like jwalsh07, I am Catholic, and am happy with the Alito pick. But I'm not happy because he's Catholic; I'm happy because he's a "strict constructionist in the style of a Thomas or a Scalia."

I was rooting for JRB, who is not a Catholic. She belongs to "Church of Christ" or something like that. Dunno if that falls under Evangelical.

I had been attempting for find the eligious affiliation of the various judges being considered without success. I was able to find Janice Rogers Brown is a member of the Church of Christ, and one cannot be more Evangelical than that. Now I am upset that she was not chosen, but Alito is not a bad choice. I found the foolowing:

For at least four generations, Janice notes that her family has been part of the church of Christ. That long family history of using the Bible as the single, undisputed standard for religious beliefs provided her with the foundations of her faith and fueled her analytical mind as well.

Her family, many of them noted teachers and song leaders in their congregations, expected every idea to be backed up with proof from the Word. She says she has always been drawn to the intellectual honesty of biblical study that has been emphasized in the church.
