I somewhat agree with you, however it shows horrible judgement (not that we needed any more proof that this President has horrible judgement.) One of the major complaints about Ms. Meirs is that she hasn't shown a competency in negotiating constitutional issues which are about rights, not morals. Let's take prostitution for example. I would argue that I have a right to enter into a contact with another willing party for darn near anything and the federal government shouldn't have squat to say about it. A religious opinion, however, would be that prostitution wrong and so the gov't shouldn't allow it. I say that violates my rights. If a justice is making a ruling based on religion or faith rather than rights, then we're in serious trouble. Thus it's bad judgement for Mr. Bush to invoke this message. Unless you're trying to placate the fundies that put you in office by fooling fiscal conservatives. Then it's political judgement. The absolute worst kind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:176973 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
