Yeah but those responsible for the anti-Catholic bias against Roberts et al are themselves Catholics - or consider themselves as such - Kennedy, Leahy, Kerry and Biden.

Actually the Anit-Roberts Senators have been Leahy, Durbin both nominally Catholic, Shumer and Boxer Jewish. Kennedy actually said that Robert's wife is off limits, Kerry has said nothing and Biden is off chasing other windmills. I watch the Senate everyday.

Also, the trouble Leahy and Durbin have with Roberts is not religion, but Abortion, which they personally oppose but are for allowing others, which is theological jujitsu, as far as I am concerned but I understand what they are saying, not that I agree, but I understand it.

Actually they don't have an anti-Catholic bias they have an anti-Christian bias.The Gop is letting the anti-Catholic line serve as a stand in for anti-Christian bias.This makes the point while at the same time serves to help pull the Catholics into the fold with conservative christians.Catholics at this time are not as reliable as evangelicals in voting their faith.This is an education process.
