The confirmation hearing for Kentucky’s very own Dr. James W. Holsinger, the man who felt compelled to prop up his religious beliefs on a framework of pseudo-science, has been scheduled for July 12.

Place your bets on how this turns out. I say he goes down in flames. Why?

Well, the Democratic base — with all the digressive Supreme Court decisions handed down this week — got reminded how unfortunate Bush’s Christian fundamentalist nominees have been for the nation.

Holsinger’s willingness to inject pseudo-science into his religion doesn’t bode well that he understands the professional limits of faith and its proper influence on government policy that serves a diverse nation.
