The argument you are making is increasingly incoherent. First you seem to complain about the historical curiosity that 2/3 of SCOTUS is Catholic in some cases simply by baptism (and one presumes you are complaining that the remaining 1/3 are Jewish) and that there are no Protestants (again presumably). Those percentages are certainly out of whack with a cross section of American demographics. So what! Give me a good Reformed Justice (Byron White, William Rehnquist) over a bad "Catholic" Justice (Sonia Sotomayor, William Brennan) any time.
Does this violate a Constitutional guarantee of religious balance among justices that must reflect the demographics of the general public? Barak Insane Obozo: Is that you? Saul Alinsky? Cloward and Piven? Bobby Byrd? Margaret Sanger? Who?
Now you are saying: that you "don't believe that Christianity should be represented on the Supreme Court even mostly by Roman Catholicism." Would you prefer a SCOTUS of nine pagans, nine faithless nones, nine Wiccans, nine atheists?
How about nine justices each with an IQ above room temperature and of whatever religious background with a legitimate copy of the Constitution and reading lessons and subject to both?
Perhaps there are provisions in the Constitution that are invisible to Catholic SCOTUS justices but obvious to all others. Enlighten me. Where in the Constitution did the Founding Fathers provide for a right to employer-paid abortifacient remedies to the non-illness of pregnancy???
America wants to know, needs to know, and we are waiting!
As I’ve said, this is about GOP picks. The GOP selection process. It’s just what the title says. But the Dem picks might shed more light on the whole situation. Dems want the U.S. to be like the most unchristian nations in Europe, and choosing secular Jews might be as close as they can come to rejecting Christianity and embracing atheism as they politically can at the moment.
For the GOP leadership, many of the powerful would like to ditch Christianity, but for the base. Christianity’s strength in America is far more from the common believers than from those anywhere in leadership. And evangelicals should remind those leaders of the differences between their beliefs and those in Catholicism, and that while there can be cooperation, the differences are irreconciliable and the two aren’t interchangeable, as they’ve become. Are evangelicalism and Catholicism interchangeable to you? And how about God’s will and plans? How do you view all five conservative SC justices being Catholic in the light of His plans and will?
