And quite a few Jews too. I guess WASPs aren't inclined to academic disciplines like law.


Don't know about the rest but Amy is devout. This is the point that the Dems will be
sure to hammer her on. Watch 'em.

It amazes me that a libertarian is ok with fundamentalist religious dogma at heart of his nations law making body.
And you must be a libertarian because you’ve registered and everything 😂😉

Surely the lesson to be learned from that fact is not that Catholicism is hegemonic on the court, but that it is irrelevant to the actual judgements justices reach. A denomination that can encompass conservatives like Kavanaugh and Scalia, liberals like Brennan and Sotomayor, and moderates like Roberts and Kennedy, must be as wide as the sky.

In that case, Biden is Catholic, too. I think you should never vote for him or support him.

Right?

Why would anyone care that she's Catholic?

I think that since she is a perfect unblemished candidate, her religion is the only thing that they can dig at. You are right, who cares? Well, the senators have to have something. Maybe they will blame her for Chinese Covid. Watch for this answer when they ask her how, as catholic, she might rule on certain cases, like Roe v Wade. "I can't say because I would have to see the facts of each case before me in the court'. That is what Ginsberg said 27 years ago. Smart lady.

You guess?
Since it was mostly WASP's and Catholics that developed the academic disciplines of our American legal system, where did this guess of yours come from?

Because catholics do not believe in birth control

Because she is rabidly against ACA AND Roe V Wade, if they repeal ACA, not only will millions go uncovered but Covid patients who test positive will forever be pre existing conditions. So MANY millions will suffer because of this pick.
Also BTW, Repubs have ZERO replacement of the ACA, its been near 4 years since they have tried several times to kill it and have NEVER come up with a replacement plan.

WASPs traditionally dislike Catholics and worry that the Pope is going to take over the USA. This attitude seems to have mostly died off though. More of an older anti Irish/Italian/Mexican stereotype.

By devout, do you mean she wants to burn non-believers at the stake?
