You're rather silly this morning aren't you? You also didn't answer my question? Do you actually believe that religion contains no "views or philosophy" or have any influence on what legal philosophy one is attracted to? By the way, Alito is religious and I'm sure it has an influence on what legal philosophy he's attracted to. If you can't respond intelligently, silence is the best option.
I was responding to the statements by some that evangelicals were dissed in favor of Catholics and the still stupid reasons Meirs' proponents are giving as to why she was dropped.
I am not a religious person, but arrive at my conclusions and beliefs using a conservative framework of beliefs. Theminister or Pope does not shape my views. History, experience, logic, and rational thought is what I hope to look to form my beliefs. The fact that they might be on the same side as yours is fine just the same.
However, do you think your thought process is entitled to more deferrance than mine if we ultimately reach the same conclusion, however from different angles?
