I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers. -- William Tecumseh Sherman

Thinking, as most Conservatives do…..

...and I have made up my mind.  About a certain SCOTUS choice. 

I read the reviews of what she has done (mostly via Polipundit), and have come a startlingly simple conclusion:

She holds the same exact worldview as George W. Bush.  Exactly.  As I have said before, he is a Religious Republican, as opposed to a Rational Conservative.....maybe 80% RR, 20% RC...compare to Drumwaster, who is probably the inverse, as am I.  That being said, and not having to read anything else about her, I will say the following.

She is pro-life, pro-WoT, pro-Iraqi war, Protestant, sympathetic to the plight of those who are less fortunate, desires the government to aid those ‘moral’ groups and support those ‘moral’ agendas that she supports, like funding of church-based charities, prayer in schools, etc. 

That troubles me.  What that tells me is that she is being nominated to vote according to her (and the President’s) moral stance.  The COTUS is, even though written by Judeo-Christians, a secular document. 

Discerning the Constitution does not require church attendance.  Even Christ told a parable about an amoral judge, who feared not God or man, but ruled according to the law.  The judge was not condemned by Jesus for being amoral...in fact, he was indicated in the parable to be a tool for real justice (the widow....remember?). 

That and the fact that since she was an attorney for the President, and she might have to recuse herself from voting on the WoT.  Is that a good thing? 

I think that she should get a vote.  If she makes it out of committee, she should be voted on.  However, after reading about her, and her stances on issues (which is different from her politics, mind you), I have to side with Polipundit, and Instapundit.  If it were up to me, I would have nominated someone else.  If I were voting for her, I would vote “No”, because she isn’t what the SCOTUS needs.

It needs that amoral judge, that fears neither God, nor man, and that finds according to the law under which they serve.
