Rosie on Catholic Justices: 'How About Separation of Church and State?'

Posted by Justin McCarthy on April 19, 2007 - 14:37.

On April 19, the ladies of "The View" offered their analysis of the Gonzales v. Carhart decision upholding a federal partial birth abortion ban. Most of the segment was a back and forth between Rosie O’Donnell, who clearly opposed the decision and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who supported it. Joy Behar and Barbara Walters chimed in occasionally with Behar clearly in the abortion rights camp and Barbara Walters mildly there. Video: Real (1.4 MB) or Windows (1.6 MB); plus MP3 (256 KB)

Rosie expressed horror that there are five Catholics on the Supreme Court and Catholics on the Court apparently violate the "separation of church and state"

It’s starting to get funny, she is showing most of us how ignorant she really is.

And of course unless your a “scientist” you have no right to express your opinion of “global warming” unless of course you agree with them.

Good post and I specifically liked the last comment that so points out the MONSTER SCAM of global warming and the methodology of the perverted opportunistic left...

Since there is no “separation of church and state” what’s to violate?

Why is there silver paint on her mouth?

Rosie expressed horror that there are five Catholics on the Supreme Court and Catholics on the Court apparently violate the "separation of church and state."

And how is she going to prove that? This is just anti-catholic smear campaign to discredit Catholics (and those who hold decent moral values). If those big, mean catholics are just enforcing the Church's moral stances on the issues then how does she explain that Justice Kennedy (a Catholic) has consistently upheld Roe v Wade despite the fact that it is clearly unconstitutional. Besides the constitution says nothing about "separation of church and state" anyway.

Some people remain silent and are thought to be ignorant. Rosie speaks and takes away all doubt!

She is beyond stupid.

I remember when she kept popping up in every movie, and I was like “why”, why does she keep getting parts?

Then Jeaneane Garafolo took her place, again “why”, why does she have to be in every movie.

I’m not sure who the new annoying idiot woman is who has to be in every other movie, there’s so few worth watching anymore, usually 5 or less per year.

So I guess by her standards, a requirement to be on the SCOTUS is that you have to be an athiest?

I know some Liberals who (completely seriously) say that the First Amendment declares "Separation of Church and State" (it doesn't) and that what this really means is that church-going people are supposed to be banned from politics. If an avowed Christian holds an elective office (or is appointed to SCOTUS) then we are just a Theocracy like Iran.

I'm in MA where most people are barking moonbats.

Catholics need not apply.

Imagine if she said this about a Muslim?

Did Rosie run out of her dilatory cream again???

That would explain much...

[Jeff Chandler]

What a waste of an apostrophe.

[trimom]

I think I remember somewhere along the line that Rosie was reared in a Catholic home.

Many left-wingers seem to have the idea that the Catholic Church alone objects to infanticide and fetal murder. I guess that it’s sort of a compliment, though a sad one.
