Bush's pick Harriet Myers was an Evangelical Christian, I don't think her selection would have helped much with getting an actual conservative on the court. Ironically if Trump had picked her, I have no doubt that people on FR would have blindly accepted the "Miers is an outstanding Originalist" Kool-Aid and she'd be Justice Harriet Miers now.

. You're right that we need a SCOTUS that reflects the average American much more though. I vastly would have preferred Jennifer Elrod over Amy Coney Barrett (Elrod didn't make any of Trump's ”lists" but would have made my short list). She is from Texas and a Baylor University alumni. I have no idea what her religion is but based on that background I'd guess she's an Evangelical protestant.

Yes, Meiers would have been a dunce. ONLY religion doesn’t cut it. Obviously we need competence as well.
