Sen. Dianne Feinstein defended Sunday her much-criticized grilling of a judicial nominee over her Catholic faith, saying that Amy Coney Barrett had made “questionable” statements in her writings.
Ms. Feinstein said that she considered Catholicism to be a “great religion,” but that it was appropriate for the Senate Judiciary Committee to quiz Ms. Barrett about her religious beliefs.
“Having said that, this is a woman who has no real trial or court experience,” said Ms. Feinstein on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “And therefore there is no record. She’s a professor, which is fine, but all we have to look at are her writings, and in her writings, she makes some statements which are questionable, which deserve questions.”
During the Sept. 6 hearing, the California Democrat told Ms. Barrett, a professor at Notre Dame Law School, that “dogma lives loudly within you” and that “you are controversial.”
Ms. Barrett, who clerked for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, was nominated by President Trump to fill a vacancy on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

“but that it was appropriate for the Senate Judiciary Committee to quiz Ms. Barrett about her religious beliefs.”
I thought the Constitution forbade any religious test.
Maybe now (Constitution Day, btw — Sept. 17) we think it’s time to start
adding religious tests?
Imagine the indignation if the nominee was a Islam bomb thrower.
“Are you now or have you ever been a f**king Catholic?”
I believe you’re correct, the Constitution does forbid a religious test.
She knows it, too. That’s why she is trying to rewrite the historical record of the confirmation hearing by pretending her religious hostility was really about the nominee’s lack of trial and court experience.
Or maybe a question like, “You’re an Orthodox Jew, aren’t you? You practice your beliefs much?”
Anti-Catholicism, the last acceptable form of prejudice.

I guess that is why DiFi voted against Elena Kagan to be on the Supreme Court?
“Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Catholic Church?”
Exactly. Fineswine is quite the backstroker.
Do,gi needs to quit the senate and go back.to Sacred Heart High School for some remedial moral instruction
Most of today’s jewish Americans are not religious at all. It is more like a linked in concept, a networking system.

I wonder what DiFi had to say when Kennedy was questioned about his Catholic faith during the 1960 election......
The Country desperately needs term limits!
“you are controversial.” = not an indoctrinated leftist
I remember that travesty well, shocking to say the least.
