Throw it right back in their faces - ask them where they think their supposedly “progressive” values of human rights, concern for the poor, justice, etc... come from?

As I previously posted:


I would love, for once, to see a nominee "take the sixth" and refuse to answer the question by invoking their Article VI protection against religious tests.

Each time the Senator pushes the question, the nominee should just declare "I am asserting my Article VI protection against religious tests and refuse to discuss the matter."


When the Senator persists, I would suggest replying with the following:

"How would you use my answer in your deliberations? You can't use it to disqualify me, so isn't it best that we don't even go there so there is no perception of taint in the confirmation process?

"Article VI is the same Article that requires the oath that YOU, Senator, swore to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.' Why won't YOU defend my protection against religious tests?"

-PJ

Such questions by the feds are patently unconstitutional and they should simply be prohibited from such religious inquiry. And oh BTW, there’s no equivalency between inquisition as to being a Christian and inquisition as to being a Muslim. Islam is as much a political system as it is a religion, so inquiry into a Muslim’s allegiance to American’s Constitution is relevant and constitutional.

The fact is the Democrats and the Delusional Lying left are revealing that they and their political correctness are driven by the spirit of antichrist.

Someday they and their spirit of antichrist will take over for a very short time ushering the world into unprecedented death and darkness.

Today is not that day.

What ever happened to “no religious tests”?

The Constitution is clear that religious faith may not be used to prevent an American from holding office.

Yeah, but what's the penalty and how hard is it to prove? How could you prove Slimestein voted "no" based on a religious view?
