Bush: Miers' Religion One Factor In Decision to Nominate

    Harriet Miers was chosen as the next U.S. Supreme Court nominee in part because of her religious beliefs, President Bush said Wednesday.

    "People are interested to know why I picked Harriet Miers, they want to know her background, as much as they possibly can. ... Part of Harriet Miers' life is her religion," Bush said during an Oval Office press conference with Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski.





Gotta disagree with Dubya big time here.

During the Roberts confirmation he said, rightly so, that Roberts should be judged on his experience, education and judicial philosophy, not his religion.

Now he says the exact opposite about Miers?

I'm very disappointed. Seriously.


its also a violation of the constitution. the SF chronicle quoted the exact part but it basically says no religios test can be used for determination in the appointment of a public post.

Bow ties are coool.
