“My belief on it is that the trend to select Roman Catholics as the “conservative” pick seems to come from the sense that they are, overall, less likely to strictly follow God’s Word than would be an evangelical and to be more receptive to the opinions of man.”
A Supreme Court judge is supposed to be following the rule of law - the Constitution, not his religious denomination. How strictly he interprets scripture is not relevant to the job. Any judge that puts his religious/political opinion before the clear words of the Constitution (as all liberals do) should be kicked out.
“Something has gone wrong when five Roman Catholics represent conservative Christians on the Supreme Court.”
As long as they follow the Constitution I do not care if they are Catholic, Jewish, or atheist. While I agree it would be nice to have a conservative evangelical or two on the bench, the four Catholics on it right now are doing great (Roberts with one giant exception), even Kennedy has been on a good streak recently.
It shouldn’t be faith vs. interpreting the Constitution properly.
