It is axiomatic that no man operates but from a moral framework.
See, it was idiocy like this in Catholic theology that drove me from the path to the seminary to apostacy.

Article VI. Clause 3:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

About time someone spoke up. Schumer isn't even making a pretense of what he is doing anymore. His list of nominations he would support--Specter, Williams,Prado, Mukasey and Marcus--says it all.

*LOL* If you don't do what you think is right (i.e. acceptible to you) then what do you do?

This letter is self-defeating... it would have been fine if they had stuck to their point, i.e., that Specter is imposing what amounts to a illegal religious test on a nominee. But the authors decided they'd lecture Specter too, which means that the whole thing will be promptly ignored.

Maybe the point is not so much to convince Specter of the error of his ways as much as to inform the voters of his district of his outrageous litmus test, during an election where Specter is vulnerable to the education of his constituency as to just how liberal he really is.

Sen. Sphincter probably gets most of his re-election funds from outside Pennsyvlania. Vote Toomey before Rendell appoints a successor.

There is no way that Specter, a liberal Jew, will support a professed pro-life Catholic for an important court appointment. He is no different than Schumer or Levin in that regard, and it is about time that Republicans in Pennsylvania woke up to that.
