A Supreme Court Nominee's Conversion

A lot of people don't know what to make of Harriet Miers. She was a Democrat and now she's a Republican. She seems to be a person with a past full of contradictions. Today, a NY Times article tells the story of her conversion to Christianity:

"She decided that she wanted faith to be a bigger part of her life," Justice Hecht, who now serves on the Texas Supreme Court, said in an interview. "One evening she called me to her office and said she was ready to make a commitment" to accept Jesus Christ as her savior and be born again, he said. He walked down the hallway from his office to hers, and there amid the legal briefs and court papers, Ms. Miers and Justice Hecht "prayed and talked," he said.

Still, her position on social issues are as clear as mud, leaving people on both sides of American politics asking, "Would the real Harriet Miers please stand up?"
