I agree with you on Scalia.
The author of this article did not demonstrate that Amy Coney Barrett is unfit to be considered as a CONSERVATIVE JURIST based on her judicial record.
His concern trolling was based exclusively on the Pope being a liberal goofball, and some statements she has made in articles.
My opinion on Barrett hasn’t been revealed in this discussion. I’ve only opined on the article and it’s author.
That being said, if indeed she would be unable or unwilling to totally separate her religious convictions from her judicial rulings as a sitting SCOTUS jurist, that would indeed preclude her from the position.
We can't be having a reliable conservative member of SCOTUS recusing themselves every time a case to be decided contains irreconcilable differences between what the Constitution and her Catholic dogma dictate. There likely will be several over the course of a lifetime appointment.
