Religion is the reason for a Supreme Court justice!?
Bush cites religion as reason for picking Miers so, let me get this right, it's no longer important that a Supreme Court justice has experience as an actual judge, what really matters is her religion? Now, if you read the article a little closer the Bush administration has been busy ensuring James Dobson that she is conservative enough, religious enough, and has the right views on abortion. Why is this? Dobson has no elected office, he is merely a right wing religious zealot who feels it is his mission to make all of us live like he says we should.
Shouldn't Bush be trying to convince the senators that will be the ones to confirm or deny his selection to the Supreme Court? Shouldn't they be worrying about actual qualifications instead of religious views? It's amazing, the same Christian morons that think the middle east is such a terrible place because the government is run by religious ideology think it's great when the United States does it because the ideology happens to be Christian instead of Muslim. Why is it a bad thing when Saudi Arabian law makers must consult with clerics, but it's a good thing when American law makers need to consult with Christian leaders? A theocracy is a theocracy, it doesn't matter what the name of the faith is behind it.
Even more important than convincing the senate that Ms. Miers (notice I said Ms., not judge, because SHE'S NOT A FUCKING JUDGE!) shouldn't that piece of shit be trying to convince us that she's a qualified candidate? As of today 28% of the country believe that the country is headed in the right direction and 39% approve of Bush's performance. Now, let me put this in perspective, according to a CNN/Time poll 64% of Americans believe aliens have contacted humans and 80% believe the US government is hiding information about alien life forms. These people are generally labeled extremists, fanatics, or sometimes even worse, so what should we call the 39% that still think that record deficits, unwinnable wars, increased poverty, and tax breaks to the rich is doing a good job? Anyway, back to my point, with poll numbers like these shouldn't Bush be trying to convince the American people that at least one of his decisions wasn't idiotic? It's supposed to be a government OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people. That's all people, not just rich, Christian people.
