"Though Judge Barrett’s credentials are impeccable, I have no doubt Senate Democrats will try to destroy her reputation for political gain, because they already tried to do just that. In 2017, when she was nominated to the Seventh Circuit, my Democratic colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee interrogated Judge Barrett not for her record or her qualifications, but for her faith. It was a shameful exercise of religious bigotry, the likes of which should have long ago been relegated to the history books. Judge Barrett is well-qualified to serve on the United States Supreme Court. Having confirmed her to the circuit court in 2017 with bipartisan support, the Senate has already undertaken a thorough and rigorous review of her record. Let me be clear: Democrats’ expected attempts to derail this process, along with their contempt for Judge Barrett and her faith, will not impede this nomination."


As I mentioned before, they are going to attack her for her religious beliefs.

they are already saying she is a cult member

thus alienating Catholics.

They seem to forget that Biden is Catholic.

They need to read the Constitution where someone's faith does not disqualify them for office. Article 6 Clause 3

but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

The problem (for leftists) is that she actually seemingly takes her faith seriously. Joe is routinely denied communion because he’s not really a Catholic.

They are going to try.

Attacking a somewhat anonymous legal mind for their beliefs doesn’t necessarily get backlash.

Doing so in full view of the country because of how highlighted this hearing will be? God may have mercy on their souls but I think the voters won’t.

How many Catholics does it take to choke out someone with rosary beads?

None, a real Catholic wouldn’t do that. Joe, though?

The Catholic Church has come out against both of these two. They don’t practice their faith.

It'll be a 4 prong attack

-Religion/Catholicism
-ACA / Pre-existing conditions
-Adoption as it relates to race
-Roe V wade


They'll keep banging those 4 drums, & which ever one beats the loudest will be the one that gets the most feedback from the focus groups over the next 72 hours

He was denied once in South Carolina. Not sure if there are more.

Archbishop Hannan in New Orleans used to deny Senator Mary Landrieu communion, too

Could somebody on the Judiciary Committee raise a point of order that under Article VI of the Constitution, "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States", and thus call the line of questioning out of order?

So once Feinstein tries this again (or Heels Up, or whoever), this needs to be put to a stop.
