A ranking public official in Massachusetts is coming under fire for grilling a judicial nominee about his Catholic faith.
Eileen Duff, a member of the Governor’s Council (a body that approves the appointments of new judges), focused on religious issues in her questions of James Gavin Reardon, Jr, who had been nominated for a seat on the Massachusetts Superior Court. Claiming that members of the US Supreme Court have allowed their religious beliefs to influence their decisions, Duff asked Reardon whether his faith would “interfere with your judgment” on some issues. When Reardon declined to discuss his religious beliefs, Duff pressed him: “Are you Roman Catholic?”
The Catholic Action League of Massachusetts denounced Duff’s line of questioning as “outrageous, unconscionable, unheard of, unlawful, and unconstitutional.” The group’s executive director, C.J. Doyle, pointed out that Article VI of the US Constitution explicitly prohibits any religious test for public office, and both state and federal law ban discrimination the basis of religion. “If a private employer in the Bay State examined an applicant about his religious faith, he would expose himself to civil liabilities, enforcement proceedings before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, and, potentially, criminal penalties in a court of law,” Doyle remarked.

Get ready for more of this.
Catholic religion = Bad. Islam religion = Good. That’s the final refinery product with these people, imo.
BTTT!
“The presumption behind the question by Duff is that Catholicism is suspect, and Catholics cannot be trusted to impartially administer the law,” Doyle continued. He argued that since “Duff has, obviously, no understanding, respect or sympathy for the constitutional protections and religious freedom guarantees upon which this nation was founded, she ought to resign from office, and stop poisoning the judicial nominating process with her crude prejudices.”
Maybe he should have said, “I am muslim and if you ask me any more questions about my religion I will separate your head from your body right now!”
I don't see a problem here. The leftist puke faced dirt bags, allow their non religious beliefs to influence their decisions. Two can play at that game.
Coming soon to all government job applications...
It is a war on Catholics.
Of course. Liberals and Moslems are natural allies, because they share a common goal: the destruction of our civilization. And I think a lot of people, in both the US and Europe, are coming to realise that.
Yep, if you think about it, there is no such thing as a harmless liberal. So proud of their invincible ignorance.
who needs satan
She is openly GAY
——that may influence her more the ANY religion could.
That’s not good for one’s eternal longevity is the way I read it.
Total bitch.

Wow...the home and party of John F Kennedy!
The clause in the US Constitution has to do with federal offices. At the time that the Constitution was adopted and for decades afterwards, some states had religious tests (requiring office-holders to be Protestants).

This link from ABC News Langer research shows Trump already leads with Roman Catholics 57/33 which is a record spread and record low for a Democrat by 6 points since 1952.
Stuff like this and the wikileaks drop will likely push that to 60/30 or more
