Going to back to 1833 for support? Just as weak as your lame defense of Meirs was.

Second, I am Catholic myself. Thus, your assertion is not only false, but one given with zero facts whatsoever.

No, I went back to 1797, the date when the greatest chief justice, John Marshall, wrote that statement. Are you suggesting that what one of the Founding Fathers and the greatest chief justice ever said in 1797 is not valid? You have been very rabid and biggoted about the mention of an Evangelical on the court. Naturally as a Catholic you would approve of 5+ Catholics on SCOTUS. There has not been one Evangelical nominated since 1930.

"The American population is entirely Christian, and with us Christianity and Religion are identified. It would be strange indeed, if with such a people, our institutions did not presuppose Christianity, and did not often refer to it, and exhibit relations with it." John Marshall, in a letter to Jasper Adams, May 9, 1833, JSAC, p. 139. Marshall was Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1801-1835.
