re rule of law and the constitution not god: 
That's why Our Lord God gave us free will that we might choose to be his hands on earth.  My hands, in all I do while awaiting judgment, will protect the unborn, the elderly and infirm, the poor (whom Christ said will always be with us) and the neglected and abused.  With God's grace I can hopefully make a difference. 
I had no illusion that a woman who has no regard for the most innocent could be trusted with any decision of importance in this regard.
