Another Roman Catholic.
That’s about the only positive in the selection.
And the left, who claims to care SO much about catholics, are going to trash her every second of everyday. God Bless Amy, she knows what is about to happen to her from the commie left
The Supreme Court's evangelical blind spot
Bonnie Kristian, The Week, September 23, 2020
If President Trump nominates and the Senate confirms Allison Jones Rushing (Amy Coney Barrett since rumored the one), an appeals court judge rumored to be on the short list to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Supreme Court will get its fourth Baptist justice ever. And the court could use a Baptist, or a Pentecostal, or any sort of evangelical or low-church Protestant at all. Even a Methodist from a church with a band might do.
As it now stands, the Supreme Court's religious composition is very different from that of the country it serves. While we shouldn't expect SCOTUS to be a demographic mirror of America, evangelical representation strikes me as particularly important given the demographic's high engagement with controversial social issues. That is, the value of an evangelical justice is not that she would rule in a specific manner because of her faith, but that she would have an insider's understanding of a shrinking but still significant demographic that figures disproportionately in major cultural battles and is increasingly opaque to the Americans on the other side of those fights.
About two thirds of Americans identify as Christians, and that identification as a cultural marker is what interests me here. It's more about a general vision of the world, habits of mind, and who we view as members of our religious in-group than the state of anyone's soul. Within that majority, evangelical Protestants are the largest sub-group, followed by Catholics, then mainline Protestants. By this measure, evangelicalism claims one in every four Americans — and yet there are no evangelicals on the Supreme Court, nor have there been in decades. (There are also no religiously unaffiliated justices, though another quarter of Americans are "nones.")
After two centuries of dominance by mainline Protestants — overwhelmingly from upper-class WASP denominations like Episcopalians, Congregationalists, and Presbyterians — SCOTUS has become predominantly Catholic and Jewish. Five of the present justices are Catholic (John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, and Brett Kavanaugh). Two are Jewish (Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan), as was Ginsburg.
One, Neil Gorsuch, was raised Catholic (he even attended the same Catholic high school as Kavanaugh), though as an adult he has attended an Episcopalian church without formally joining, which is as close to Catholic as a Protestant can get.
Catholics started out as Democrats and they still believe a lot of that garbage.
