Is this what we've come to??
Our country was founded with religious beliefs and now, suddenly, being a Catholic is taboo?
We seriously need to take our country back.
Even in the op ed piece Turley said that he could not understand why Roberts would have said he would recluse himself on issues that went against his moral teachings.
They wanted to hurt Roberts with conservatives.
After Turley wrote the op-ed I got a feeling someone from Roberts camp went to Durban and gave him a chance to clear up the matter.
Turley is a turd anyway
HELP REDUCE THE PRISON POPULATIONS OF THE FUTURE BY COVERTING DEMOCRATS TO REPUBLICANS TODAY!
he probably realised that by violating article vi sec. 3 he was violating his oath to uphold the constitution.. someone on his staff probably saw what we were saying and told him to deny it :)
Durban has a record of twisting the truth anyway. We shouldn't trust Durban or his Democrat Party Demogogues.
Catholicism doesn't make it a sin to declare bad laws constitutional
Sen. Dustbin and the rest of the left deserve credit for one thing. They have created a situation where Evangelicals, Roman Catholics and Orthodoox Jews see a common thread to admire in each other.
I predicted several days ago in a post I can't locate that this would happen as soon as word got out Roberts was a Catholic. It smacks of prejudice and religious discrimination (Oh, ACLU where are you when we need you?). Typical Demon-rat Durtbin--the Repubs should play this up. After all Catholics have traditionally voted largely Democrat. Dirtbag may have shot himself in the foot.
Yet the Catholic Kennedys are somehow acceptible, nay, elevated to Godhood?
He's got a lot of nerve first of all for claiming to be a Catholic... then to question a true practicing Catholic?
Nothing is worse than a Catholic that doesn't practice their faith...
Don't worry, we Catholics that do practice our faith were down his throat immediately, hence the backpedaling.
Durbin and his ilk used this guy to shake it up...and he called them on it.
Nope - Durbin knew full well that he would be quoted by Turley, and that he would have to make a show of denying what he told Turley. Durbin was planting a seed here, hoping it sprout into a picture of John Roberts as some kind of religious extremist unable to separate his personal views from his legal judgement, and thus being unqualified to be any sort of judge, let alone a Supreme Court justice.
And as fertilizer for that seed, Durbin very cynically used the public's loathing and distrust of the media and it's gaggle of self-appointed "experts" who can be counted on to fill air time and column inches with their endless bloviating and pimping fpr the liberal cause. It's actually a rather clever strategy that could only be used by someone completely lacking in shame, and confirms just what a fungus Dick Durbin really is.
"The hypothetical is more than a little far-fetched because, to my knowledge, Catholicism doesn't make it a sin to declare bad laws constitutional."
Good line, that misses the point. "Catholic" could be promoted to mean "would throw Roe". Expect more of this, they have nothing else so far.
Turley comes across as sincere, honest and thoughtful, not an idealogue.
Durbin is part-time lunatic fringe.
Trimmed with the razor, simple truth is likely correct...the story rings true.
