The court needs to read the constitution.
How about some white Protestant cismales?
Agree, replace her with a ROCK to attain more reasoned decisions.
I actually agree with her. i think we desperately need someone not from Harvard, not from New York and Not a creature of the Federal Government.
And honoring their Oath?
No doubt what she really means is “more people who think, and can be counted on to vote, as I do.”
She’s right. The demands at least 5 devout Muslims on the bench.
I can’t find the word “diversity” in the Constitution. It’s not the Constitution she’s serving.
Right. We need a few more lesbians like her on the Court. That will fix all our problems.
More Lesbians?? More ATHEISTS??
How much diversity does Communisn/Socialism have?
“Catholics are the most populous single religion”
I dont believe that to be true

She has a point. Why is there not one single Protestant on the court?
A supreme court judge who is on board with diversity and affirmative action. The color of your skin and your ethnic background before experience and accomplishment, what a sick world!
Diversity huh? I guess I was under the mistaken impression that the Supreme Court was established to PROTECT the Constitution and for no other reason. Simply put, they are there to ensure that no law is written that is not authorized by the tenents of the document.
Now, with the election of ignorant minorities in high positions they believe that racial and gender “issues” should become the established guiding law of the land and become part of the Constitution.
Our founding fathers, never in their wildest dreams, would have thought that their original Constitution could be so contorted as to destroy our country and culture.
The laws of our land have slowly rotted to the point that it is a matter of how you feel rather than the rule of law.
You need to look at your own figures.
There is no “protestant” church or sect. Same with “evangelical” church or sect.
There are Baptists, Episcopalians, Mormons, etc. with different beliefs except for being Christians (OK, drop the Episcopalians from that.
The largest single group with a common theology is the Catholics.
