Six Roman Catholics, two Jews and one 86-year-old Protestant.
Things have certainly changed since there was one Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence and two Catholic signers of the Constitution. Catholics make up a little more than 20% of the U.S. population while over half this country is mainline Protestant.
Six out of nine and nobody says anything about it anywhere.
Strange days have found us.
I care not the ethnicity or religion of our Justices. Their adherence to the Constitution is the overriding factor with me.
Given the choice who would you choose as a supreme Court Justice:
Antonin Scalia - Catholic.
-OR-
William Jefferson Clinton - Protestant
But a conservative Catholic and a liberal Protestant is not the only choice. That's just how the debate is being manipulated.
There are plenty of conservative Protestants who could sit on the Supreme Court.
And they're not.
