The Supreme Court has 6 Catholics and 3 Jewish. Wonder why?
The International Masonic Conspiracy.
Well, all the “justices,” both the good and the bad, were appointed by Protestants.
Every one of them is an atheist
The makeup of the SC is a national joke. The three Jewish members aren’t worth cr** The Wise Latina is the poster child for the failures and hypocrisy of “affirmative action” Only Alito and Scalia are judicial intellectuals. The rest are lightweights and an embarrassment.
The GOPers who voted to confirm Sotomayor, Kagan, Breyer and Ginsberg should be primaried out, specifically using that point. These people are robots, one can tell their outcome from the get-go. Not an original thought between them.
The bastardization of the SC by politicians and special interests is a national disgrace. What should be a bench of super judicial intellectuals of the highest integrity and independence is little more than a collection of PC tokens, unqualifieds, and political hacks.
If you believe that the present chief executive is a Christian.
Six Catholics and 3 Jews, all of whom were appointed by (at least self-professed nominal) Protestant Presidents.
Barack Obama is not a Protestant. He’s a secular humanist with a hard on for Islamic theocratic rule.
He was raised by 2 muslim fathers, an agnostic mother, and a Unitarian grandmother. He attended “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright’s “church” for 20 years. Mr. Wright is a former muslim and not a man who preaches the message of Jesus Christ.
Protestants aren’t reliably liberal enough.
Catholics are approved because conservatives hope the Catholics might somehow prove to be conservative.
Jews always show up in key political positions in nations with sharp religious and cultural divides. Multiple sides tend to see them as somewhat neutral arbiters.
In both cases, Protestants don’t want to appear nativist or discriminatory.
Good post.
All the Jewish and Catholic presidents keep nominating their own.
Obviously.
Freegards
” Mr. Wright is a former muslim ... “
I did not know that. I haven’t read that anywhere.
I had read that he got his masters degree was in islamic studies.
Things were no better when a Democrat klansman sat on the court and established rulings that were designed to reduce the (educational) power of the Catholic Church (and really all churches) in this country.

In 1921, Black successfully defended E. R. Stephenson in the sensationalistic trial for the murder of a Catholic priest, Father James E. Coyle. Black joined the Ku Klux Klan shortly after, thinking it necessary for his political career.[12] Running for the Senate as the “people’s” candidate, Black believed he needed the votes of Klan members. Near the end of his life, Black would admit that joining the Klan was a mistake, but he went on to say “I would have joined any group if it helped get me votes.”[13] Black, along with fellow politician and friend, Bibb Graves, were known in Alabama Klan circles as the Gold Dust Twins.[14]
Scholars and biographers have recently examined Black’s religious views. Ball finds regarding the Klan that Black “sympathized with the group’s economic, nativist, and anti-Catholic beliefs.”[15] Newman says Black “disliked the Catholic Church as an institution” and gave numerous anti-Catholic speeches in his 1926 election campaign to Ku Klux Klan meetings across Alabama.[16] In 1937 The Harvard Crimson reported on Black’s appointment of a Jewish law Clerk, noting that he “earlier had appointed Miss Annie Butt, a Catholic, as a secretary, and the Supreme Court had designated Leon Smallwood, a Negro and a Catholic as his messenger.”[17]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everson_v._Board_of_Education
Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1 (1947)[1][2] was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court which applied the Establishment Clause in the country’s Bill of Rights to State law. Prior to this decision the First Amendment words, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”[3] imposed limits only on the federal government, while many states continued to grant certain religious denominations legislative or effective privileges.[4] This was the first Supreme Court case incorporating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment as binding upon the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision in Everson marked a turning point in the interpretation and application of disestablishment law in the modern era.[5]
The case was brought by a New Jersey taxpayer against a tax funded school district that provided reimbursement to parents of both public and private schooled children taking the public transportation system to school. The taxpayer contended that reimbursement given for children attending private religious schools violated the constitutional prohibition against state support of religion, and the taking of taxpayers’ money to do so violated the constitution’s Due Process Clause. The Justices were split over the question whether the New Jersey policy constituted support of religion, with the majority concluding these reimbursements were “separate and so indisputably marked off from the religious function” that they did not violate the constitution.[6] However both affirming and dissenting Justices were decisive that the Constitution required a sharp separation between government and religion and their strongly worded opinions paved the way to a series of later court decisions that taken together brought about profound changes in legislation, public education, and other policies involving matters of religion.[4] Both Justice Hugo Black’s majority opinion and Justice Wiley Rutledge’s dissenting opinion defined the First Amendment religious clause in terms of a “wall of separation between church and state”.
...Of the private schools that benefited from this policy, 96% were parochial Catholic schools...
I wouldn't call Clarence Thomas a lightweight.
True, as is our President. It’s not hard to lie about having a faith or believing in something as if you believe there is no God, there is no punishment for the lie.
It is bizarre there are no Protestants.
Protestants have an aversion to law school?
Bwahahaha... for real? Maybe you mean the international Knights of Columbus/Rothschild conspiracy.
Should we bus a few judges in? What if we make four "affirmative action" appointments to the court?
Or the Bilderbergers. It could even be the NRA behind it all.
