You condone discrimination? Wow!

We don’t have these judges by chance.  They were hand picked by Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society, a rightwing Catholic himself who controls judge selection by Republican presidents.  Republicans want mainly to entrench control by the wealthy, but to do this they must give their base of evangelicals and hardline Catholics the anti abortion red meat they want.  Since Leonard Leo is a devout Catholic he has made sure that in doing this,  he always picks those with his beliefs.  They are there to strike down abortion, to support dark money and to facilitate every advantage for the extremely wealthy and corporations.

Justice Brennan, the so-called “liberal lion” of the Supreme Court and who Justice Scalia described as the most influential Supreme Court Justice of the 20th Century, was Catholic.  So is Justice Sotomayor.  So is Joe Biden.  The current conservative majority was elevated to the Supreme Court because of their judicial philosophy and their politics, not because of their religion.  There are plenty of non-Catholics whose approach to the constitution is no different than these five, including the majority of the Senators who voted to confirm them. [/quote]
