I hate how "Western=We Love Jesus=White" religions are untouchable to Burgerlandians.

Any religion not based on Whiteness or Loving Jesus is fuel for attack or discrediting. Even if a person is only suspected holding a dirty faith, usually based only on surnames and skin tone *example Obama was an undercover brother of Islam*

Meanwhile, the newest SCOTUS nominee is as Catholic as Catholic gets. She is in fact a proud member of People of Praise, Catholicism's Illuminati. She has stated many times her faith comes first and her goal is to advance Catholic Beliefs.

Like Mike Pence, he stopped needle exchange programs in his state because he had to pray on it. He supports conversion therapy and believes homosexuality is a sin.

Extreme religious belief should absolutely be explored when appointing people who will decide law and freedoms for an entire fucking country.

:mad:

Is there anything about Republicans not McConnell's Waddle deep in hypocrisy?

How on earth is Donnie Two Scoops allowed to be president with 420 million dollars in debt?

You can't even be a bank teller with a bankruptcy or low credit score. Nevermind security clearance, reason being you're much more prone to bribery etc.

You can't get into the militarily if your debt to income ratio is over like 30%. But for president? Who cares.

Cuz other millionaire *without obvious means of enrichment* Congress members who are indebted to the same agencies *russian* and banks have used their office to make this bullshit acceptable normalized.

Also. Trump supporters will follow anyone willing to yell "N-word" in a crowded theater. Cuz they are equally stupid and racist.

ETA: this shit is not all acceptable.

Im gonna push back a smidge... at least conceptually because I haven't looked into her yet... but isn't the job of the SCOTUS justice to interpret cases BASED ON THE CONSTITUTION, not based on their personal agenda?

This might be a lil lillywhite idealistic but I think its possible to set aside your personal beliefs when looking at matters of law. I personally abhor drugs. Hell, I'm dreadfully uncomfortable holding someone's cigarette. But I think that our founding fathers believed strongly in individual freedoms when writing the constitution so if _I_ were on the bench, I'd take that into consideration on drug cases.... overriding my personal views.

If a candidate does their job in this manner, I won't care who appointed them, their religion, color, etc. If they don't, im not gonna like it even if their views align with mine on those individual cases before them.

Just outside of my own living memory, but I’m my sweetie’s was the whole “Kennedy would be a stool for the pope/not really American” bit.

Pelosi is catholic, I think.

to me, it’s the issue that people are already voting on the presidency and senatorial seats.
Selection of possible justices should be on hold until the new set is sworn in.

If your faith informs your decisions, that’s one thing. If faith overrides then Constitution, then we have a huge problem.
Ethics are the touchstone of a society. We must have them to live in groups.
But ethics go beyond faith.

(like my view that government isn’t to remove rights, aside from legal convictions)

I am okay with a judge who happens to be Catholic. I am not okay with a judge who looks at the law through a Catholic filter.

If judges' didn't let faith dictate interpretation of the law not one single challenge to Roe v Wade would have made it to SCOTUS.

ETA: Barrett has repeatedly made it clear she identifies an Orthodox Catholic. She is viciously anti-choice. She also defended a judges' right for ideological bias on issues such as abortion and the death penalty.

The problem is not she is Catholic. The problem stems from the fact that most people which are politically affiliated with or identify as being part of the current Republican extremists cannot separate church and state and much like most of their other hypocrisy fail to recognize or even remotely understand this is a problem with their much selectively embraced constitution.
