@MrTStat His point was the "woke" people only question Christians as to whether their beliefs will color their rulings. Jews don't get asked that. "Justice should not depend on the judge you get, but on what the law requires." "A judge that likes every ruling he or she makes is not a good judge, I'd argue that's a terrible judge. A good Judge will not like every decision he or she makes because the law will not always follow his or her opinions, and a judge should not draw attention to itself, but apply the law" - Antonin Scalia

@nunya busiess Sorry that you can't handle differing opinions snowflake. Move somewhere where they don't allow divergent thought. Most people aren't afraid of people who think differently then them.

Deep State Free speech is an American God-given right, not a Russian one nitwit. So get back in the basement and yell upstairs for your mom to make more mac and cheese. Leave the debating to us grown ups.

Kwum aix 400 years? Apparently you can predict the future until 2189? Just teasing. The SC has been around for 231 years.

@LightInTheIgnorance I support doing away with Roe v. Wade because it was overreaching and an improper interpretation of the Due Process Clause. I'm not addressing whether abortion should or shouldn't be legal. The decision was a bad decision because it was too broad as well. The majority argued that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment provided a "right to privacy" that protects a pregnant woman's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. It was a stretch to use the right to privacy. Also, it didn't take into account the rights of the unborn. Ruth Bader Ginsburg hated Roe v. Wade. She said many times it was too sweeping. Clinton almost didn't nominate her because he heard feminists didn't like her. She said it was breathtakingly broad and counter-productive. People now want to rewrite history but liberals did not want her on the bench. Barrett will get the same attention in the beginning until she makes some ruling the left can live with (like Roberts lately), and this will blow over.

@LightInTheIgnorance I didn't think you did, I merely wanted another position to be able to be seen in the thread.

@Leehamism It isn't questioning one's beliefs that is being pointed out here. It is in that line of questioning, they are insinuating the person will make legal rulings based upon their religious beliefs which is antithetical to being a judge. Judges ALWAYS have to make rulings based upon the law that might be against their personal religious beliefs. The OP is suggesting that the left always does this to Christians but not to potential judges of other faiths. Christians are often required to remind them that they will rule based upon law not their personal beliefs but never once has a Jewish person been asked "Will your adherence to the Sabbath affect rulings you make involving that day?, or some such religious based question. The left suggests that Christians are always tempted to let their personal beliefs color their jurisprudence.

@whiteyobanion1104 Religious people can be on the court, they merely can't make rulings based upon their beliefs. That is why we have a Constitution. "It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors." -George Washington "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people... it is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." -John Quincy Adams "The God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?" - Thomas Jefferson "We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!" - John Adams "The God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?" - Thomas Jefferson There are hundreds more quotes demonstrating the religiosity of the founders, they just knew to separate their beliefs from political duty. So you can't suggest the founders "would disapprove".

@Leehamism The reason Ginsberg was against Roe v. Wade wasn't for religious reasons, even though she was religious. It was because she thought it was overreaching and counter-productive. In fact, Clinton almost did not nominate her because feminists didn't like her. Now people want to canonize her as some Roe v. Wade flag bearer. She HATED Roe v. Wade, as do I, not because of abortion, but because it is bad law. It was a misinterpretation of the "right to privacy" in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Neither Ginsberg nor I, nor probably Barrett, dislike Roe v. Wade because of abortion; we dislike it because it wasn't reasoned properly. /opinion.
