NPR: Too Many Catholics on the Court?
Creative Minority Report ^ | 4-07-10 | Matt Archbold

NPR has an unintentionally hilarious piece out today that sounds the alarm that when Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens steps down it could be the first time ever that there are no Protestants on the Court?

Why? Because all those darn Catholics!!! AND THEY FEAR THERE MIGHT BE MORE COMING!!!! But don't worry they quickly add that it's not like there's anything wrong with that. What?! They're just sayin.'

NPR writes:

With U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens talking openly about retirement, attention has focused on the "who" — as in who is on President Obama's short list of potential nominees. But almost nobody has noticed that when Justice Stevens retires, it is entirely possible that there will be no Protestant justices on the Court, for the first time ever. Cue foreboding music. Tell us why NPR:

Agreed, but for whatever reason, our country believes a “balance” is necessary. We tend to get in trouble when it weighs too heavily to one side or the other. I’d be satisfied if we could decide on certain “fundamental” and “considtent” principles. So far, it appears to be every man for himself. It’s hard to follow the rules when there are no rules.

I just don’t think it’s going to be a woman....and we’re going to be totally surprised...and not happy. I predict a terrible fight.

I speak as a RC, myself, and I cherish my faith.

Me too.

Unless you are speaking directly of Liberation Theology (which has been denounced by Rome), I can see absolutely no “friendship” whatsoever among Catholics and the dark side.

Apparently you haven't been paying attention. Satan's best friend is a reprobate.

They embraced Saul Alinsky in the Archdiocese of Chicago and poison the rest of the nation and eventually the world with his ideas in action. They molest little boys. They elected Obama. The stuff unconstitutional, fascist policies down our throats. They support and promote abortion and abuse their offices to promote immoral and unjust policies -- that's what "Catholics" have done, some of them.

I think it's too early for a transgender.
