did you read that article? Barrett said that IF a catholic judge cannot put aside their catholicism in order to decide a case based on the law, then they must revise themselves. where is the evidence that Barrett cannot decide a case based on the law?
Barrett said in her conformation hearings, that she often decided cars in ways that resulted in an outcome that she didn’t like, but which was what the law required. that’s fine.
all judges have personal
opinions they are supposed to set aside. whether those opinions are formed from their parents, teachers, or religion, they must be put aside when deciding cases. a religiously-informed conscience is no more problematic for a judge than a conscience formed by what the judge was taught in school.
you sound like a religious bigot. there’s no rule that says only atheists can be good judges. if barrett supported a law that requires people to get communion on sunday’s, that would imply she’s putting her faith above the law. i know if no complaints that. suggest she puts her personal beliefs above the law.
another baseless argument, what a stupid article.
