Personally, I am waiting for the first US Senator that will have the
impolite courage to ask the new Supreme Court Nominee - Harriet Miers
whether or not the single, 60 year old born-again-Christian has maintained
her Church's commandment that one remain abstinent (or "virgin") until
taking one's marriage vows. If she says "yes", we - on the left - will know
that she does not believe in a woman's right to choose and control decisions
made about her body. If she says "no", the right wing will be unable to
trust her commitment and allegiance to the principles of George Bush's
party of God. Well, maybe the Church could "forgive" her. But she would
still be a question mark, I suspect.
It's astonishing to me - or is it - that Judge Roberts and Ms. Miers never
crossed the street in the 1960's & 70's. No Civil Rights involvement, No
anti-war demos - and, probably, No drugs, No rock'n'roll, No dancing, No
premarital stuff, etc., etc. They are entirely counter-generational. This
is like throwing the Court into a total time-warp.
And it's happening right before 'our' eyes.
Jeezus!
