Faith Supersedes the Law?
Story Here
Gonzales was asked whether his personal view of abortion would play a role in his vetting of judges.
He responded, "There are no litmus tests for judicial candidates. ... My own personal feelings about (abortion) don't matter. ... The question is, what is the law, what is the precedent, what is binding in rendering your decision. Sometimes, interpreting a statute, you may have to uphold a statute that you may find personally offensive. But as a judge, that's your job."
Said Brown, "Gonzales' position is clear: The personhood of the pre-born human being is secondary to technical points of law, and that is a deadly perspective for anyone to take."

Ah, so, its okay to be an activist Judge when it meets with your ideology. Isn't there a word for that? Oh yeah, situational ethics.
Faith trumps law? Is that where we're headed?
