I don't know about all that but she belongs to a group that believes in prophecy, the gift of healing and speaking in tongues. This People of Praise group is kind of cultish and she tried to hide her membership in it. She's a whacko.

Fortunately, in this country, a person’s religious beliefs (or lack thereof) have no bearing on whether or not they can hold office.

Seriously. That’s snake-handling sh!t right there.

But I agree with the discussion above that the next justice is going to be a Protestant.

Sometimes there's a fine line line between 'normal' religious beliefs and batshit crazy. I don't want a batshit crazy person deciding the future of our country for the next forty years. That doesn't seem to bother you for some reason.

Unconstitutional, illegal religious tests absolutely do.

Really. So you must be seriously aggrieved by Trump's ban on Muslims from certain countries (not the ones that he personally benefits from, of course).

I agree with you on illegal religious tests. However, Coney Barrett *wrote an article* about how Catholic judges may have to recuse themselves in matters of faith. She literally wrote that "we believe that Catholic judges are morally precluded from enforcing the death penalty." So I think it's very relevant question for her. https://scholarship.law.nd.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1523&context=law_faculty_scholarship

Sure, great, but Trump’s looking for someone younger.

A supreme court justice is selected based on the opinions they write, not their grades or clerkship. That's the starting point of a career, not its pinnacle.


False. Where you went to law school defines your time as a lawyer.

I think some people adopt because they want to look like they care, not because they actually care.


And what do you do to help the poor and needy?

Notre Dame is in the same league of University of Alabama. No thanks.

You sound very unfamiliar with higher education.


That’s rich. ND #24.

Wow, she must have been really popular at Notre Dame with that attitude.

Both law schools have acceptance rate of almost 40%.

I have a lot of reasons not to like her, but her intelligence and academic bona fides are not one of them. She's clearly an extremely intelligent and accomplished person, likely moreso than the average Yale grad.

The bar exam is not a measure of brilliance. It’s a measure of studying. The most brilliant attorney is not passing the bar without studying for it. A dumb attorney can pass the bar with enough studying and preparation.


Well, neither is acceptance to Yale or Harvard. And, FWIW, a brilliant attorney would know to prepare for the bar. So, I guess you agree that HRC is not brilliant.
