Religion and the State
For those of us who witnessed John Kennedy practically swear he’d never really swallowed the communion wafer to show that his (Catholic) religion had no place in his governing decisions it is staggering to see that Bush and his keepers are arguning that THE reason to appoint Harriet Miers is that she is SO religious.

High crime: As you might expect, the “high crime” here is more serious, and is also the area where it’s hardest to argue that the president did not cross the line. We are referring to Article VI, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which states that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
