Politics... but in a good way this time.

"Where science determines the facts, the law can effectively govern. However, when science cannot determine the facts and decisions vary based upon religious belief, then government should not act. I do not mean to make very complex, emotional issues too simplistic. But some of these issues do not need to be as complicated as they have become if people deal with each other with respect and even reverence."

Harriet Miers said this in 1993.  While I still don't think she should be on the supreme court, I think it's one of the most reasoned, simple, and solid arguments I've heard for why, and more importantly, when religion and law should be separated. 

UPDATE : No sooner than I post this, I read on the top of DailyKos that Miers is withdrawing herself from the nomination process! I'm both happy and frightened by this. Will bush feel weaker and nominate an established centrist? Or will he cave to his base and nominate a right wing crazy like Janice Rogers Brown or Alberto Gonzales?

Anyone want to go see any of the following movies?

Ok, I want to go see a movie.  Actually, quite a few.

Shopgirl
Good Night, and Good Luck
Capote
North Country
A History of Violence
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit

Anyone interested?  Please?
