I love how liberals get all bothered when a Christian President exercises his free expression rights, yet, when the issue is the National Endowment of the Arts they see no need for the fictitious "seraration of church and state" when tax dollars support porno Virgin Mary or the Christian cross set in a glass or urine. Next time we should shout "Separation of Church and State" when they use tax dollars as "art" to desecrate religious symbols..

Well, I'd give further consideration to your position if I were you. That you get a sense of glee about it is discomforting.

This isn't simply a case about the president espousing his religious beliefs. He intends to make a concerted effort to stack the bench with judges who share his religious beliefs. And while this might seem virtuous and heroic it sets a dangerous precedent. The Office of the President ought not be used to advance one's religious dogma wether the president is a Christian, a worshipper of Mother Earth, or a worshipper of Xerxephius of Alpha Centari.

Someday we may get a president whose religious beliefs run contrary to your own. I think it's fair to assume you would not want him to stack the bench with judges who shared his religious beliefs.
