So if this was 1950, the entire court would probably be democrat Too bad Catholics had to turn so conservative based on a few stupid petty social issues over small verses in the bible, etc.

I only take issue if they're actually silly enough to believe in their religions despite having Ivy League educations.

But if they were just born into it and don't actually believe that nonsense, then no, i don't take exception to it.

Funny you say that because I've thought for years that little shrew Ginsburb made a deal with the devil.

They all believe in "that nonsense." 6 of your Supreme Court Justices believe that an unleavened wafer baked by nuns turns into the body of a 1st century Jewish man when a priest speaks Latin words to it.

Does anyone take issue with 6 Catholics and 3 Jews on the Supreme Court?
Is the War on Police going to extend to a War on Catholics and a War on Jews? What is the point of this?

I don't particularly like some of the current supremes, but it has little to do with their respective religions.

Only if they are fundamentalists. Quite a few christians see the bible as metaphor, not literal truth.

Scalia, my favorite, even believes in Satan.

Trolling for Catholics on Christmas. You must be confident in your belief system.

No I don't take issue with 6 Catholics and 3 Jews on the Supreme Court. I'm Catholic and I have Jewish friends.

If that's true, then that's pretty damn sad.
