, women as subservient. She and her husband lived in a home owned by co-founders of the group when they were in law school, according to public records.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., says any attacks on Barrett’s faith are a “disgrace.” Democrats, he said, are “so disconnected from their own country that they treat religious Americans like strange animals in a menagerie.”
Feinstein spokesman Adam Russell said Feinstein “plans on focusing on the issues and what’s at stake for millions of American families if this process continues.”Fearful of losing the high court for a generation, the left is demanding that Democrats resist Barrett’s nomination with everything they have. But with the election so close, Democrats are wary of missteps that could hurt their bid to wrest back control of the White House and the Senate majority.A Republican on the committee, Sen.
Columbia University law professor Katherine Franke said that asking Barrett how she would handle “an irreconcilable conflict between the commitment she’s made to religious law and the commitment she’s made to secular law” would be acceptable. But specifics about Barrett’s faith, such as broaching People of Praise, would have “a bad odor,” Franke said.
Both Grassley and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, asked Barrett about the 1998 article on faith and the death penalty. Cruz said it was “obviously of relevance.”
Why exactly? It is not a religious post she is being nominated to fill. If her beliefs hinder her open minded approach then yes question anything.
oh please they aren't gonna do chit.
Is Feinstein still alive? In that photo, she looks about ready to be embalmed, not sufficiently alert to cast perceptive judgment.
Especially since Biden and Pelosi are also Catholic.
This is a done deal. Don’t fret yourselves about it. They can ask her anything, they want. It doesn’t matter.
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE Anything else is unconstitutional.
They would be, her record is in-humane on it’s face. God & faith do not operate in inhumanity
Aren’t 5 of the Justices Catholic? Why is anyone bringing up her religion? It’s her personal opinions that are offensive.
You must cease causing trouble for my family and colleagues based on Dagoism & MS-13 in CA. We don't need them on us. CA running cocaine all over the place. Guzman was caught in Reno to NY and ask your CA leaders about him.
God is not real.
Considering that is exactly what Article VI of the Constitution says as well, this is not news.... Actually it is since Democrats tend to do whatever they want to....Constitution be damned!
the democrats demonstrating, yet again, that they just aren't serious.
Would questions of Lindsey Graham's Covid condition be appropriate or do all the elderly committee want to catch it?
If her catholic faith stands to influence her judgement then it needs to be questioned.
We've already been called on the carpet about this and don't want awkward questions being asked about Biden being ineligible for communion among other issues.
That’s bullshit
UPDATE: Donald's campaign fed the news that he's talking about resigning. Reality: ABSOLUTE DISTRACTION. So dirty. So so dirty. Let's play ball.
Recess appointment
margbrennan Just show her video of why the citizens should vote before nomination or have her read it verbatim in her best mommy voice!
Just imagine for one moment the outrage of a Muslim of Jewish candidate being questioned about their religion
Uh, no. If her faith directly affects her judgment, it’s fair game.
If a Muslim were the nominee, would questions about their beliefs be appropriate?
Check if Serena Joy has all 10 fingers...
It’s time for a lot of those people to retire.
But her affiliation with a cult should be
They know Biden is catholic, right?
The Final Jobs Report before the Election has been released. Trump cannot be happy. TrumpVirus
FAKE NEWS. Reading the article tells you AP does not name which Dem Senators are opposed to discussing religion. As usual, no credibility for AP!
If she were muslim, it would be a different story.
But Dems are inappropriate so I’m sure they will ask
Logically very relevant. Politically suicidal. The slogan “religious freedom” is going to undermine the hard fought rights of the LGBTQ community. Unrestricted gun rights will encourage the growing threat from right wing extremists. Voting restrictions will impact blacks.
People who act based on guidance from an imaginary friend are displaying signs of mental illness right
We will have six Catholic justices out of nine. Grossly non-representative. WTAF
If I were Diane Feinstein she should be real careful not pissing off God, I'm guessing she's not that far away from facing him in the future
Attacking her religion won’t work well but you can certainly attack her extreme viewpoints that may come from religion.
Would it be a problem if she were Muslim. If her faith means she justifies taking women's right to choose could she say ban pork.
margbrennan Her “cultish” associations could be a concern.
I'm Catholic amd they are not appropriate. She needs the answer the abortion questions and many more. She will use her faith and not the rule of law to guide her. She is not the right choice.
hows abt Q's on her membership in religious Cults?
margbrennan of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
margbrennan The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prevents the government from making laws which regulate an establishment of religion, or that would prohibit the free exercise of religion,or abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press,the freedom...
She’s so feckless - SenFeinstein is basically republican
Bitcoin baby! She's moving up! I hope Americans are investing!!
Separation of church and state. Religious views are very relevant.
It is inappropriate. We have a right to worship as we please.
If the liberals ask about Barrett's religion, then Biden is fair game because he is Catholic, and Presidents issue executive orders and memorandums. o'bama issued the most of any recent presidents. Perhaps he isn't religious or has scruples because of he & hunter's corruption.
I don’t recall Kagan or RBG asked about Judaism.
Oh infinite_scream ?
The problem with this entire line of thinking is that ACB's faith and worldview are EXACTLY what informs her politics and, in turn, how she'll rule on everything from health care to climate change. She's a menace and should be questioned thoroughly on her belief in absurdities.
No need to ask about her love for fiction. Try asking about her corporate love which have made her side with corporations more than with civilians. Oh, sorry. I forgot that corporate dems have no problem with those things.
They shouldn’t ask her one thing about her past voting record as this whole thing is a done deal. they should focus on what Trump has done and ask her opinion if it’s legal to her on record
Biden is Catholic. The Democrats shouldn’t even show up. Let the GOP illegitimately pack the court if they want. They have the power. Then do it right back. All this does is push the SC towards irrelevance.
I think it's fair game.
margbrennan Is NOT about her faith! It’s about her ability to leave her religious beliefs at the door. Who cares where she worships, just be able to be open minded. And with her past,very strong opinions, it seems that is not her strong point. SCOTUS role is to rule using the law not faith
