I find the term “Jewry” offensive.

Given that you said you’re Jewish, do you?

“Umm...they are still Jews. The definition of being a Jew is far more than being Ultra-orthodox.”

Yes, but the article said “religious Jews,” by which I think they meant Jews to whom the religious element of Judaism is very important. Reform Jews, I am informed, are hardly observant at all.

I’m with the Orthodox Jews on this issue. Good to know they speak up for Gorsuch.

“Garland, had he been confirmed, would have brought to four the number of Jewish justices on the court.”

Given that they are all LIberal/Marxist, that would be four too many.

“Fake news. Reform Jews are not religious Jews.”

Yes, show me any religious Jews in today’s government. If any of them went to Temple, the building would fall down!

Hitler's mother wasn't Jewish and even the Nazis only went back to great grandparents.

You obviously don't know much Jewish history. No, most Jews, living in Germany, weren't Orthodox, in the 1930s. Reform Judaism goes back to the early-mid 18th century.

There's also Conservative Judaism, the extreme, beyond Orthodox Hasidim, and by the 1920s ( if not earlier ), the secular Jews, who weren't practicing Jews at all, but whom Hitler was more than happy to cart of and kill anyway.

Before you post about Jews, again, might I suggest that you study up some on them. ;^)

Speaking as a Catholic, I agree. There’s 6 million in America. Leave them be.

“FINALLY....with the 2nd to last paragraph they quote an ACTUAL Jew — and he LOVES Gorsuch!”

A Jewish friend of mine says that an “actual Jew” ie anyone who was born to a woman who is Jewish. That that make them a Jew by definition. I have a good male friend who is married to a non-Jew. His children were denied entry into a program that sends “Jewish Children” to Israel to study. FWIW.

Sssssh, I’m studying Torah. This week’s parshah is the one all about LamedGimelBetTavQ rights. I’m up to the part about where if a man doesn’t know whether to lie with a woman or a man he becomes a Bet. That is the third letter.

:) I miss my Scalia terribly but will have Alito for a long time.

How about a descendant of a family that dates back to the revolution.

Add some historical America to the bench.

Italian Catholics are predominantly conservative, but compared to many Americans, we just got here.

The only Thing looked down upon more than a white man in America is a white Protestant man in America.

That’s BS. They founded and fought for the country from the beginning.

And I and my italian catholic friends have actually discussed this. The revolution, etc. We take not for granted at all the sacrifices made so this country was awaiting us in the late 1800s, early 1900s.

We are forever thankful.

Try “Mein Kampf mit dem IOS10.” I like the part where Hitler throws his iPhone against the wall and bursts into tears.

The only real example they cite that they dislike is the Hobby Lobby ruling.

They have nothing.

Prediction: they will protest him because he’s a white male and not Obama’s “entitled” pick.

I was speaking about the Jews needing to get out of Nazi-occupied Europe or they would be killed. Most were. I’m comparing these innocents to the “refugee” groups coming to the U.S., with a good many young terrorist men, intended to do harm to Americans in the name of Jihad. Those who compare the two groups are smoking something.

The Reform Movement of Judaism has caused havoc among Jews, by creating their own politically correct definition of who is Jewish. There wind up being children born who think they’re Jewish, but according to tried and true Jewish law they are not. They have in their shortsightedness, they have created a legal rift.

Hey Michael Wilner, Justice Scalia died Feb. 13 of last year, that would make it less than a year ago. Can’t even get the simple things right.
