Harriet Miers & Dr. Katherine Pulaski

SEPARATED AT BIRTH?

Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  1. Judge from the future! :-O And I don’t mean Judge “I’ll be the judge of that” Dredd.

  2. The little American flag pin could be a communicator!
    Our judiciary would be the envy of other major planets in our quadrant.

  3. I realize she’s not a judge, but I just couldn’t resist a reference to an awful (but also unintentionally hilarious) science fiction film.

  6. Hey , WATCH IT David–Dr Pulaski did fine when Captain Picard’s future-doppleganger showed up on the Enterprise.
    Thsi is why I love this blog–who ELSE remembers Dr PUlaski??

  7. In the mists of all this flap about President Bush’s latest nominee, Harriet Miers, to the U.S. Supreme Court. Some conservatives broadcasters have aired their concerns (even dismay)about this nominee. I have only this to say. If you are a Christian, than the only opinion that should matter to you is the opinion of Christian lawyers fighting to defend life and family in our US court system.  One such lawyer, Jay Seculow, Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), has actually worked with Harriet Miers. He personally knows her, and he’s saying she’s the right choice for pro-life Christians in this nation. You just have to hear him for yourself, and pass this message on to as many other pro-life people as you can…

  8. The little American flag pin could be a communicator!
    Right. If she slaps that little pin, she gets to talk to the Commander-In-Chief.

  9. I just didn’t know that the color for the Judicial Branch was blue.
    I guess Red is Executive and Yellow is Legislative.

  13. Oh, and as a head of the Blue Department, Miers could overrule the Commander-In-Chief if she feels that he has done something unconstitutional.

  17. Oooohh, Jimmy…
    The executive branch in RED shirts?
    Bad idea! They they always get killed. Just ask the writers of Family Guy…
    Captain Kirk: Alright men, this is a dangerous mission. And it’s likely one of us will be killed. The landing party will consist of myself, Mr Spock, Doctor McCoy, and Ensign Ricky (in red shirt).
    Ensign Ricky: Aww, crap.

  19. Tim J: You’re thinking original series, when red shirts = engineering/techincal. Remember Scotty wore a red shirt in TOS, and he didn’t die. 🙂 In TNG (which Jimmy is referencing), red = officers in the command path, up to and including starship captains, such as Picard, and admirals.

  20. Followup…red in TOS also would include security personnel. Basically, in TNG, positions that were previously red-shirts became gold-shirts, and vice-versa, while blue-shirts (medical) remained the same.

  21. My ignorance of recent Sci-Fi lore is showing.
    I never did get into Next Generation. It seemed so slick and sanitized compared to the rough-and-tumble of the original series.
    Sure, the original was cheesy, but it worked. I never really cared about the characters on Next Generation, except (oddly) for Data.

  22. I think that “oddly” is a great description of how people usually care for Data.
    I love when Data corrects Dr. Pulaski’s pronunciation: /dayta/, not /daa-ta/ – one is his name, the other is not.
