The Nomination of Harriet Miers

As you probably know, the President recently nominated Harriet Miers, White House Legal Cousel, to become the next associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). As you probably know, I am skeptical of almost all politicians, whom I believe rarely have standard voters interests in mind when making decisions.

Does anyone else find it troubling that one of her main qualities is that she is a good Christian? Of course, there is nothing wrong with being Christian (coming from someone who was born and raised Roman Catholic), but I have never heard a national candidate for any office being qualified because they are a good Christian. But that is exactly what supporters of her justiceship are saying.

I believe that the nomination process of federal judges and justices just goes to show that being a judge is now a political position, and will be until we rightly return political power to the people and remove power from politicians and judges.
