Don’t get riled up over appointments

Judicial appointments: Some are concerned over President Obama’s choice of liberal Goodwin Liu for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. It may interest some to recall that the late President Reagan appointed Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court, because he was told that she would vote in favor of required prayer in the public school. As the various required prayer cases came before the court, she voted for the U.S. Constitution and against required prayer in every case. So we should not knee-jerk over such appointments.
