So you're saying we should put a litmus test on all appointees to make sure they meet your specifications? Sorry, Bub, I can't accept that!

The abortion issue should not be policized at all, and should left to each individual's conscience.

We have to recognize that we are all Americans, and will do the job the best possible. That's what counts!

Why should any killing of humans be left to any one's individual conscience?

Good grief, look at how Janet Reno used the laws and regulations available to her.

Wonderful! My conscience tells me that abortion is always the unjust taking of an innocent human life, and should never be permitted for anyone, under any circumstances. Are you going to let me follow my conscience, or aren't you?

(And, BTW, if you're going to tell me that my conscience only binds me, and doesn't permit me to make moral judgements about others' behavior, I'm going to ask you exactly why you think what happened in New York on September 11 was wrong. After all, it wasn't against the terrorists' consciences, so where do you get off passing judgement on it?)
