Alan Dershowitz: Trump should nominate a 'true conservative' to the Supreme Court
Washington Examiner ^ | July 03, 2018 | Katelyn Caralle

Posted on 07/04/2018 7:08:22 AM PDT by GonzoII

Fox News hosts told Dershowitz that many Democrats were against Amy Coney Barrett, who Trump met with on Monday and is one of the top names he is considering for nomination because of her religious beliefs that they feel could lead her to overturn Roe v. Wade.

“Well, you know the Constitution says no religious test shall ever be required for any office under the United States. It would be unconstitutional and immoral to take into account negatively a person's religious views,” Dershowitz said.

I think since he’s already adjusted to having pissed off all his liberal friends by speaking the truth on other issues, Prof. D. is now starting to make a habit of it.

“Well, you know the Constitution says no religious test shall ever be required for any office under the United States. It would be unconstitutional and immoral to take into account negatively a person’s religious views,” Dershowitz said.

No religious test shall be required...by the government.

For voters NOT to take into account a candidate’s religious
views would be folly of the first order.

“Alan Dershowitz: Trump should nominate a ‘true conservative’ to the Supreme Court”

Says the for-life democrat Obama/Hillary lover.

I’m starting to worry about Alan’s safety.

Under the democrats’ litmus test, no Catholic or any person whose beliefs are that life begins at conception could ever be confirmed to the USSC

Think about how far backward that takes us

Andrew Jackson was the first president to appoint a Catholic to the USSC-
Roger Taney who became Chief Justice

Now are we poised to never again have a Catholic on the USSC?
Pelosi is a Catholic ( albeit a bad one)
Perhaps Congress should have the same litmus test?

He might be a lifelong die-hard liberal democrat, but we all know that he’s pulling the lever for Trump in 2020, even if he says he’s not.

Pelosi is a CINO - Catholic In Name Only.

I hate it that she wears her baptism as a badge, as if it gives her the authority to speak for all of us true Catholics.

An she doesn't speak for all the babies she stumps for killing.

Poor Alan. His liberal buds on Martha’s Vineyard won’t break bread with him. How terrible! I’ve not been this upset since one of the contestants on Master Chef burned his toast points!

No....from what Roman Catholics have said in these threads that once you're a Roman Catholic, you're always a Roman Catholic.

If she is so bad [and I believe she is], then Rome should ex-communicate her.

She uses Catholicism as a badge like a fake cop uses his badge.

One of Dersh's guiding stars is his support of Israel. That's kind of tough to square with the position of today's Democratic Party. It might be one of the factors prying him away.

Time for Professor Dershowitz to reconsider his vacation venues.

And, while they’re at it, can they do that to the idiot Pope, too?

Dershowitz likes his name to be in the news. I really don’t think he holds any real beliefs of any kind. Likes stirring the pot.

Most catholics I know are not only democrats, but pro life.

I don’t think they near to fear a catholic.
