Harriet Miers, President Bush’s bewildering nominee to replace Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court, was raised Catholic but became a “born again” Evangelical in her 30s.
There is some question as to just how solidly Catholic she ever was. She graduated from Southern Methodist Law School and her sister-in-law expresses some uncertainty over how she would have
identified herself, saying:
she wasn’t sure whether Miers considered herself Catholic or Protestant growing up.
“My impression at the time and since was that she considered herself, if anything, Catholic. But she really didn’t consider it very much,” said Hecht.
