Even though he can’t find “separation of church and state”, the author ignores what is actually in the constitution.
Article VI of the Constitution says that ..”no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”.
The judge’s religious view are irrelevant to his nomination.
Unfortunately the framers of the Constitution weren't familiar with Islam or their would have been an Islamic exception in Article VI. (IMHO)
Apparently not to several Democrat senators, who have recently been challenging federal judge appointees, sneeringly calling them “Orthodox Christians”, and “Orthodox Catholics”.
