It's official - and I heard it as "breaking" news on my way in to the office this morning. Harriet Miers has withdrawn her candidacy as a nominee to SCOTUS. My thoughts? Well and good. Seems to me that we can have someone else who won't be quite as "controversial." By that, I mean someone that at least Republicans can back. I would expect controversy from Democrats - for they oppose everything good. But when the Republicans are deeply divided, it is not a good sign. Harriet Miers is probably a decent woman; she is probably a fine lawyer. But is she the right person for the job of SCOTUS justice? Apparently not.
One more thing. I heard something else on the radio I'd like to pass on. "The Supreme Court of the United States is not!" [the Supreme Court]. That means that there is a higher court, yet - the court of Heaven, and Jesus Christ sits as the SOLE Judge. His decisions are final, unimpeachable, and always right and righteous. He is just, and He is merciful. Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:. Every person must stand before Him alone, on his/her own merits, and answer the question: Did you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior (from your sins) and Lord (over your life)? Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Look to Christ, my friends, and be saved (become my brethren).
