Not a Single Protestant on the Court
Posted by AUstar on 7/2/18 at 2:26 pm2581
Does this not bother anyone? Every Christian on the court is a Catholic (rest are Jews).
I am an atheist/agnostic and it's no sweat off my sack either way. HOWEVER, if we're going to be fair, shouldn't we have one judge who represents 46% of America's population? Why is there no outrage? Where's the equality police on this one?
By the way, Jews are vastly over-represented. 2% of the US population yet 33% of the court. If Garland would have been appointed, that would make 4 Jews or almost half the court (his mom was a Jew, which makes him a Jew by Jewish law). I know Jews are some clever little dickens who are especially good at law, but god damn they are taking over. It gives the goldenuggets of the world ammo.

I feel like there’s a Dan Brown novel in here somewhere.

You couldn't quit the day with one terrible thread already in the books? There's already enough faux-outrage over everything else.

You do know Catholics and Protestants both accept Jesus, and along with Jews believe in the same God. Right?
Christ told the Jewish leaders that Satan is their father.

Bothers me some. Would love to see more Conservative Protestants on the bench.
ETA: I believe Gorsuch is considered a Protestant but he's way outnumbered.

COMPLETELY INCORRECT.

Are we just making up for the first 150 years when it was almost exclusively Protestant?

As long as they are using the words of the constitution and not a religious book... Doesn't matter

It's funny that all Christian denominations are descended from Catholicism, yet somehow it "contradicts" Christ.

Doesn't bother me. I wouldn't mind seeing a right-thinking Southern Baptist or Presbyterian on there, but I'm not upset that there's not.
