The same crowd will be yelling for the next crucifixion if a strong Evangelical is nominated.

That just shows how little you comprehend the arguments against her.

There was nothing strong about this woman. Next.

Uh, we weren't opposed to her because she was an "evangelical."

We were opposed to her because that was her ONLY "qualification" put forward by her defenders.

Oh please. The conservative opposition had nothing to do with her brand of Christianity. What planet have you been on?

Crucifixion? You don't think that's a bit of an exaggeration? Let's see, on the one hand you have a high paid lawyer who doesn't get to sit on the Supreme Court. On the other, you have someone being nailed to a cross and left to die. Yeah, I'd say they're equivelant.

"The same crowd will be yelling for the next crucifixion if a strong Evangelical is nominated."

That had little if anything to do with the situation. In fact it was Bush who was trying to make the sell based on that. And pretty much that alone. Being an Evangelical has little to do with being a good Supreme Court Justice but obviously doesn't hurt.

From comments I have seen from this site alone, I think the ones who claim their are the biggest christians, seem to have the harshest words. It has sure opened my eyes to the ones who think they have the most power. Shameful imho. I stood beside President Bush for years and enver changed. This will backfire on the ones who think they are most supreme

Don't be paranoid. Religious Faith (or lack there of) is not relevant to appropriateness for SCOTUS.

Many here were offended her Evangelical Christianity was held up as a qualification!

In this case it truely wasn't about her evangelicalism. Maybe for some, but not most. That was her strongest selling point to me, but it just wasn't near enough.

You are pitiful. There is no one that cares one hoot about the religious affiliations of Supreme Court Nominees.

It isn't about how the nominee prays, it is how they THINK

This statement is at best stupid and wrong. At worst a lie. At least half the people that were against Harriet WERE evangelicals.

Wow, how dishonest of you. No one complained about her being a 'strong evangelical'.

It had nothing to do with her religion. It had everything to do with her complete lack of qualifications and unknown, possibly liberal ideology.

So your hidden agenda is exposed.
Miers wasn't a strong anything.
If she had beem then she wouldn't have been opposed.
