The Republican president nominates 215 judges who share his conservative political ideologies. I have no problem with that. He's the president. He gets to do that. And isn't his holiness the president infallible in all political matters?
Then 205 are OK'd, but the Democratic sect does not like 10 of the judges and threatens to prevent a vote by filibustering. I have no problem with that. It's a two-party system, and this is something politicians have always done.
Then the Republican hierarchy begins to call the 10 unappointed judges "people of faith." OK. That is possible, but I wouldn't think it would be because they are conservative Republicans. "Therefore," they say, the Democrats are "against people of faith," and the red states go berzerk. (The red states being the "states of faith," I think) Am I hearing this right?
Is that the spin we are having shoved down our throats on TV and in newspapers and everywhere that is still allowed to report on what is being said? OK, let's try this one.
Does calling someone "a person of faith" mean just your own faith, or does it mean also of your own political party? If so are we to have only Christian Republican judges?
