Very interesting.
The Court is comprised of all Jews and Catholics.
Wonder if a Muslim, Buddhist, or openly Atheist will ever be confirmed.

1. Well, religion shouldn't matter, of course...

but there are a lot of Catholics on the SC, too many for most people to be comfortable about any cases involving women's health issues.

[HughBeaumont]

6. Or ANY issues for that matter.

A SCOTUS that answers to the RCC before the American people is a dangerous one for ALL citizens.

Well, except for those in Trump and Koch's income bracket.

Citizens should ask themselves if they're rich, white and male enough to have four MORE Alitos on the SCOTUS. Then look at their wives, daughters, co-workers, children and the LGBTQI community and ask the same thing.

9. G here, I remember similar language

2. I'm holding out for a Pastafarian

[FLPanhandle]

3. +1

4. Ramen n/t

[KamaAina]

5. Or Hindu

i.e. Sri Srinivasan.

7. He's too old.

[enough]

8. Yes, by at least 10 years.

I say this as someone much older than the nominee. It's not about ageism, it's about a likely extra decade on the court.
