Mier's religious views

[Rick Duncan]

Of course, Mark is correct in reminding us that everyone's religious faith (or lack of faith) infuses one's understanding of the world and of the good life. But many conservative evangelicals (no less than Catholics or Jews or secularists) can truthfully assert that their job as a Justice is to interpret the Constitution, and that their faith is irrelevant to the meaning of the text of the Constitution. She should say that she will be faithful to the Constitution, and that her religious faith is relevant only insofar as it instructs her to be faithful to her oath of office.
