I wish I had included information about this judicial appointment, above, in the recent essay, linked below, that I wrote about two other judicial appointements by Gov. Bush, as I think he has really chosen quality people (and made diverse selections, because guess what, in addition to highly qualified Asian-American and black men, there are highly qualified women in FL, too [who may even be Christian conservatives]).

The two appointments I wrote about were: an Asian-American male, and a black male, both highly qualified, as is this woman, above.

"I've never heard of [Alemán] and I'm a past president of the Broward Bar Association and the Broward County Trial Lawyers Association and formerly on the board of governors of the Florida Bar," says state Sen. Walter "Skip" Campbell, D-Tamarac. "That should say something."

In other words, she's not part of your liberals-only club. Too bad, "Skip."

Ahhhh....the paper believes in a religious test. Isn't this against the Constitution that provides there shall be no religious tests.

And we haven't even gotten to the 1st amendment yet.

If I can make no law respecting an establishment of religion, and I deny government jobs/appointments to those that have a Christian conservative religion, then I have just established a religion.....a religion that excludes others on the basis of their particular faith.

Also, there shall be no law denying free exercise of religion. If I deny government jobs/appointments to those who have a Christian conservative religion, then I have told them that the free practice of their religion is inimical to their pursuit of a livlihood, that they will be discriminated against.

But for many Democrats, the real start of Bush's conservative makeover of the state judiciary began last spring. That's when the GOP-dominated Legislature handed the governor the power to appoint all members of the state's 26 judicial nominating commissions, stripping the Florida Bar of its power to appoint three members of each nine-person panel.

I think that this quote from the article shows the hidden agenda here. The leftist wackos who control the American Bar Association in general, and in southeast Florida in particular had this idea that THEY had the right to name the judges. The result of that was seen by the whole country after the last presidential election, when the left-wing radicals on the Florida Supreme Court exposed themselves for what they are.

Fortunately the GOP controlled legislature has taken this power away from them, and now they are going to attack his appointees for whatever causes they can invent.

In a sense we are fortunate that, safe in their south Florida ideological cubbyhole, they think that they can attack Bush for naming Christians to public office. That will not play in this state. Certainly the low-church Protestants who dominate Protestantism in this state will not be entertained by this approach, nor will the Catholics, including the Cubans. A large part of the black community will not think that naming a Christian is a bad thing. They are attacking to advance a selfish personal agenda with a weapon that will not work in Florida.

CLS is a national organization of lawyers, judges and law professors that promotes government "neutrality" toward religion, which many legal experts interpret to mean a weakening of the separation between church and state.

Wow, is that a give away. Being neutral to religion is considered a bad thing. One must be advesarial towards religion.

Maybe the appointees should just plead the 5th.
