The US Bishops Intervene in SCOTUS Debate

And clearly reveal that they are in need of a few lessons on what the function of the Judicial Branch is supposed to be.

First of all, does it make sense to hold out for "qualified jurists who, pre-eminently, support the protection of human life from conception to natural death, especially of those who are unborn, disabled, or terminally ill"? I'd be perfectly happy with justices who allowed legislatures to extend that protection. If the bishops want more, whatever else may be said about their wanting more, then they have no chance of prevailing.

Second, does it make sense to seek "jurists who . . . recognize the value of parental choice in education"? Again, how about just justices who are willing to allow legislatures to recognize that value?
