Do you think background is more important that using a far left Godless 
agenda to select Supreme Court appointees? <g>
C'mon Gene, not all left wingers are Godless, and not all right wingers are 
fanatics.  Surely you realize this.  Even though you were asking James this 
question, I will chime in and say, yes, I do believe that background is more 
important than any agenda to select appointees.  First, like I said in a 
previous post, they are only appointees.  Their assignment to the Court is 
not a given.  Second, so what if Roe v. Wade is overturned(I am pro-choice, 
btw)...the Fed had no business deciding what states can and can't do to begin 
with.  It will just revert to the states, where it belongs.   

I personally think it is important for someone to be able to decide and act 
quickly.  I think the voting record is very telling...regardless of how they 
voted, I think it is important to vote-to make a stand one way or the other.  
I don't care how someone voted 10 years ago for the most part, because things 
change, people change, and no two moments in time are the same..  I don't 
like Obama's 'present' votes. It's too non-commital for my liking.  What if, 
in a crisis, he can't commit and make a hard decision?  That worries me.

Hey, you know what's funny about lipstick?
Pentecostals aren't allowed to wear makeup.   :)
So, there is no difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull, so paint that 
pig with the lipstick and laugh it up.  :)

Do you feel that background is more critical than using a far-right  
religious agenda to select Supreme Court appointees?

I think the last seven and a half years has been worse for our country
in many respects than what has come before.

Yes, we American voters are by that definition insane. We have become
dummies. We have gone from revolutionaries to reactionaries.

I am trying something new for me. I am making a written list of those
things I want the federal government to do and to focus on and what I
want them to stay out of. I am doing the same for my state government.
It is harder going than I expected. I realize that I, too, have been
as a fish on the line of the campaign professionals and the MSM,
following where they toss the bait and jerk the line. This present
presidential election has become so inane that I am repelled.

Nonetheless, following my own advice, I will vote against the
incumbent party.
