I think a Senator would be remiss in not inquiring how her strong commitment to her religious beliefs would come ingto play if her religion was in conflict with a point of law. Now that Bush has provided all of these winks, nods and private conversations with his religious base. It is up to Senate to try to let the rest of us into this secret conversation.

Plus, all of this reading between the lines, tells me that what Bush is basically saying is “I know that I said during the campaign that I had no litmus test, that was just to try to get a few of the people in the pro-choice majority, you all know where I really stand.”
