In the past two years, Democrat-aligned senators have launched inquisitions into the religious beliefs of President Donald Trump's nominees for judicial and administration positions. This week, the Family Research Council (FRC) released a report naming twelve offenders and documenting the nine times when senators applied an unconstitutional religious test for public office. Three of these senators are likely candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
"The senators asking these questions are more interested in painting the nominees as partial because of their religious convictions, rather than actually pursuing the truth," Alexandra McPhee, Esq., FRC's director of religious freedom advocacy and author of the report, told PJ Media in an interview on Friday.
She argued that the questions senators posed to nominees "show a distrust of religion." These senators "are probing beliefs of nominees that have nothing to do with whether they are able to carry out their duties faithfully."
McPhee argued that these kinds of questions support "the idea that someone who has strong convictions is disqualified for office because of their faith."
That directly contradicts Article 6, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which forbids a religious test for public office. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) argued that "asking a nominee about the particulars of his or her religious beliefs" is inappropriate because it will "inevitably expose those beliefs as somehow a qualifier or a disqualifier for public office."

[the question asked about religious beliefs] directly contradicts Article 6, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which forbids a religious test for public office. At what point does the committee chairman jump to his feet and cut them off at the knees? The Constitution is there for a reason...ENFORCE IT!!!

It’s confusing. Participation in religion continues to drop, yet how many atheists are there in Congress?

“As much of the country was transfixed by a hoaxed hate crime in Chicago over the past month, a very real wave of hate crimes in Brooklyn has been taking place. In New York City overall there have been 36 hate crimes against Jews so far this year, according to The New York Times, compared to only 21 last year. In the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn alone, ultra-orthodox Jews have been violently attacked at least 15 times since October of last year.
In most of these cases there is no apparent motive beyond anti-Semitism. No robbery occurs, and often the attackers generally black men and their victims are complete strangers. State and local government, as well as the New York City Police Department, have stepped up measures to protect the community, but the incidents have continued apace...”

And if you went by what the media is peddling, every one of the attackers were white Trump supporters wearing red baseball caps and yelling 'MAGA' as they attacked. Every one. When it was THEIR supporters(Cough, Cough "Muslims" Cough, Cough) attacking these Jews.

12 Democratic Senators Pushing Anti-Christian Bigotry...Democrats really are unbelievable - I'm old enough to remember JFK's run for the presidency and the uproar that erupted when anyone would even hint that a Catholic shouldn't or couldn't be an effective POTUS, led by the Democrats - Norman Vincent Peale got in big trouble when he said outright that Kennedy's religion disqualified him for the job - and Democrat Adlai Stevenson reacted to Peale's statement with the famous quip "I find Paul appealing and Peale appalling".....

Is it legal for your prospective employer to question you on your religion in a job interview?
NO!!!
Why, then, is it legal (much less proper) for congresspunks to so question job candidates?

Doesn’t even require full-blown atheists.
Just some Obama-type, Oprah-type “christians”. Both of which, BTW, had the same mentor.
The frog was boiled real nice and easy.

It is way past time for observant Christians and Jews to get out while they can — because a hard rain is gonna fall.
Time for the “every Jew a .22” solution.

Oprah is leading more people to hell than any other cultist alive today.
