Can anybody tell me...

I've looked at bios on these Bush judges. They're a conservative lot. At least some of them are guilty of "defying the will of Congress" when it comes to liberal stuff like employment rights. But where do any of them have a record as a Bible Thumping, School Praying Fundy? Don't see that. Can't figure out how they got the fundie panties in a twist over these godly judges. Other than that they were nominated by Dear Leader, the God Selected Presnident.

Anybody know that these judges are great fundies?

1. It really doesn't matter...

Any Senator should have a right to vote against any nominee they wish without any explanation, if they wish. They should have that right. It doesn't matter if they are a "good person" or not.

2. One of the nominees - sorry, forget which one...when asked

if she thought the Constitution or her religion was more important in making rulings and she said her religion. I think it was the chick from California. From one of the news programs today - suffering from C-Span and news overload.

3. Justice Owen teaches at St. Barnabas the Encourager Evangelical Covenant

Church. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/16/politics/16owen.html

This is an excerpt from one of the covenants:

http://www.covchurch.org/cov/resources/resolutions/1998-r-freedom.html

"Scripture teaches that governments have a God-given responsibility to serve Him by preserving the welfare of those who do good and punishing those who do wrong (Romans 13:1-6). Therefore, government should honor and protect religious freedom in order to respect human rights, to minimize religious conflict, and to allow religion to support the moral foundations of justice, freedom, and voluntary compliance with the law. Because of this servant role, government is to be obeyed by Christians.

However, God's people are under God's call and commandment to give their first and highest loyalty to Him."
