I hope you have caught on that I am playing Devil's Advocate in this case. I don't really want him in that position either, but I find the reasoning used by many of his opponents (other than the resume issue) to be hypocritical.

Supposedly he cannot do the job without infecting it with his religious beliefs. Okay, then what about political beliefs?

Liberals have no problem with practicing Marxists teaching children in universities, since their beliefs are supposedly not relevant to how they teach. Liberals have no problem anointing a media which is 6 percent conservative with the label of "objectivity," since of course their political beliefs have nothing to do with how they write news stories.

By the way, "premenopausal hormone therapy" is the most creative euphemism for birth control pills I've seen to date. Heck, this would solve that nasty problem of schools getting birth control to minor children without their rotten Neanderthal parents sticking their oars in. Just write that on the permission slip.
