Well, I'm an "evangelical? Christian, and so long as Mr. Alito is a strict constructionist Judge and is conservative, I could care less if he's Catholic or Protestant. He clearly takes his faith seriously, so as far as I'm concerned he's on the same team as I am, and that means we both answer to the same person. That's all that matters. I LOVE Scalia, always have, always will, so if having Alito means having another Scalia, then BRING IT ON!!! 8)

This portrait hangs above our family portrait in our living room.

Having another serious Catholic in Alito on the SC bench would be a great thing for all of us.

I'm ecstatic.

As am I; Christianity, IMHO, can "mean nothing" to advance the conservative cause or moral values, depending upon the person who claims to be a Christian (think political leaders: Carter and Clinton; think religious leaders: Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggert).....and God can and does use non-Christians/non-Evangelicals to do His bidding/will....we have seen this historically in our nation.
