Essentially, they will accuse the President of using a religious test, which is strictly against the constitution. Whether or not this holds water, the words are coming from W's own mouth, so they will be free to raise a firestorm.

No, they're not going to say that. They're going to refer to the section of the Constitution that says that no religious test may be applied to anyone taking a position of responsibility in the government. They're further going to quote President Bush saying, "There is no litmus test."

Myself? I don't care what her religious beliefs are. I want to know her position on Constitutional issues. She could be a Quaker or a Buddhist or a dispensationalist. That does not matter to me one whit. But I do want to know her positions on the Constitution.
