I want judges to rule by the Constitution, not by any religion, Christian or other. I don’t want a theocracy in the US, of any kind.

Any judge who would rule on a religious basis first when interpreting laws, would be better off on a court in Iran or Saudi Arabia, not here.

“I want judges to rule by the Constitution, not by any religion, Christian or other”

The Supreme Court judges rule by Constitution. The judges who have most consistently stood up for Constitutional principles are the Catholics on the court.

The idea that if someone is sincere in their faith, they are somehow incapable of ruling by the Constitution is simply ridiculous.

Bump for a voice of sanity. What's that line about not establishing a state religion. Seems that some of the strict constitutional believers forgot about that.

That’s what they have been doing!

There’s no such thing as religion not coming into things and one “putting aside” their religion. That’s a liberal-created myth while they’ve impose secular humanism and atheism because “they pay taxes.” Christians pay taxes, too, such as for schools, but all faith has to be removed from public life. There will either be Christian views and values embraced and imposed, or some other competing belief.

Sounds like secular humanism. How does someone decide when life begins, or define what marriage is?
