Providence has six nominal Catholics on our Supreme Court. Kennedy is a libertarian. They usually frown on mandates. Sotomayor's liberal history makes her problematic.

Ping
i would love to attend this

The "Catholic" neighbor walked away...how shall I say it? Rebuked.
With the backing of Church leaders, he established the Catholic Voices training program. His immediate goal was to reset his countrymens negative view of the Catholic Church, just in time for Pope Benedict XVIs 2010 visit to Great Britain. By the time the Pope headed back to Rome, the Catholic Voices team had participated in more than 100 media interviews, helping to make the trip an unexpected success.
