In their furious efforts to derail the appointment of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the US Supreme Court, Democrats are determined to ignore her judicial qualifications and turn to character assassination as a means of achieving their ends.
"I have nothing against anyone's religion," presidential candidate Joe Biden said, "but it has no business influencing how public policy is made in a democracy. Look, I'm a Catholic and a lot of the positions that I have taken over the years contradict tenets of my faith. Well, Jesus himself told us to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. In our country, 'Caesar' is the government elected by the people. If this government decrees that abortion is a sacred right then we all have to abide by this regardless of what our faith doctrine says."
Biden's vice-presidential running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif) echoed Biden's remarks, saying "it is one thing to worship in a certain way, but it isn't right to try to impose moral beliefs on others. This is especially true in the case of abortion. Many Christians consider abortion to be morally wrong. Many others disagree. Under our form of government what is right or wrong isn't decided by a moral code. It is decided by voters. If voters want abortions to be legal and funded by taxes, that is their right. For much of our history voters elected representatives who supported the death penalty for convicted murderers. If ending some lives is allowed by the democratic process then ending other lives by the same mechanism must be permitted."
Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif) is especially concerned that "Judge Barrett has no track record of support for Roe v. Wade. In fact, she once called the legacy of this historic Court decision 'barbaric.' I guess she was referring to the 60 million unwanted lives that have been terminated in this country since 1973. Clearly, this makes her Catholicism dangerous. There are many Catholic senators who are on record as deviating from their faith when it comes to this issue. Our presidential nominee Joe Biden also has a similar record. But I'm with Joe when he says that those who can't put aside Christian ethics when they make public policy are the 'dregs of our society.' Since we cannot be sure that Judge Barrett isn't among these 'dregs' I don't see how we can consent to her serving on the Supreme Court."
In related news, Biden says "I would respond to a Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade by making free access to abortion the law of the land. Based on the polls, I expect a clean Democratic sweep of the November elections with my Party taking the White House, regaining a majority in the Senate, and keeping our majority in the House. Congress will pass and I will sign legislation guaranteeing every woman the right to abort her unwanted child if she chooses."

This is satire? Could have fooled me.
...unless Moslem.
What principles did these people think this country was founded on? Yeah, I know....if elected, they intend to change all that. They could look around & see how that has worked out in some other countries, but I guess it has not occurred to them as to why some countries are reasonably successful & stable & others are not. There is a lesson to be learned here, but sadly some will never learn it.
