Well now, if Feinstein and Sanders are going to use religion, christianity in this instance, as a litmus test for public office, let it apply to themselves as well. From now on, any Jew will be disqualified from holding public office on the grounds that they will owe their allegiance to a hostile foreign power. Ban them from universities as well. Drain the swamp.
It’s been central to Democrats and the Left’s recent culture war campaigns to rule basic Christian views beyond the realm of permissible dissent. If a businessman refuses to participate in a gay marriage, he is therefore a bigot who must be sued, prosecuted, and driven out of business. If you reject the novel gender theory, as Christianity requires you to do, you are a bigot, regardless of how lovingly you treat your neighbors of all orientations.
And so it is with Barrett. Her flaw in Feinstein’s eyes is that she listens too much to the teachings of her Church, a Church with 70 million adherents in the U.S.
Feinstein pointed to a paper Barrett wrote 20 years ago mulling how a Catholic judge ought to behave if involved in a case where the law contradicted Catholic teaching.
Barrett and co-author John Garvey walked through the complex nuances of conscience, law, and recusal, concluding that a judge whose conscience forbids her from sentencing someone to death (as Catholic teaching would sometimes forbid) often is morally bound to recuse herself from a case where the law calls for this. “Judges cannot, nor should they try to, align our legal system with the Church’s moral teaching whenever the two diverge.”
This is the model for a judge of integrity. A judge must step aside if her religious beliefs clash with the law she is sworn to execute and adjudicate. So, how could this bother Feinstein?
Co-author Garvey, now president of the Catholic University of America, wrote this week, “I suspect what really troubled them was that, as a Catholic, her pro-life views might extend beyond criminal defendants to the unborn.” Of course, in the law journal article, Garvey and Barrett had argued forcefully that a religious judge must not replace the law with her own conscience. So, the abortion objection to Barrett is simply that she holds the Catholic view that it’s wrong to take the life of the unborn.
There’s a broader “problem” though. Everything about Barrett’s life, including her education, her writings, her adoption of two children, and her family of nine suggests that her belief is deeply held. That’s what makes her troubling to Feinstein.
That’s a religious test for office. Feinstein isn’t objecting to a fanatic who would replace the law with personal dictates. Feinstein thinks there’s a limit to how sincere a Christian’s beliefs are allowed to get before she’s disqualified for public office.
Feinstein is part of a movement to place the tenets of Christianity beyond bounds. She took her talking points from the liberal Alliance for Justice, whose rap sheet on Barrett mentions her religion six times on one page. This is a radical and dangerous movement, that is by constitutional definition un-American. All liberals and secular Americans of goodwill have an obligation to speak out against the Feinstein view and to speak up for the pluralism and religious tolerance upon which this nation and its institutions are built.
Can we kick them out of banking, too? It hardly makes sense to allow people that are de facto foreign agents run our central banks – which are obviously being run for their benefit, not ours. The screaming would be entertaining.
Dual citizenship should be the main reason for not allowing these people in office or to serve in any capacity in the government. If you have dual citizenship, you’re loyalty is divided.
I know I’m a Christian, but I have to say Feinstein is a B*tch!
I hope there’s a fucking correction coming soon.
Look at the US map – 85% of the map is red. We won, we don’t want any more bullshit.
All these leftist cunts (both male and female), and all the fucking snowflakes need to sit down, STFU, and do something constructive.
Would any of you want to have devout Christians like Dan III or Ditchner in government, esp as a judge …. with all that hate, hellfire, smugness, superiority complex, judgementalism, etc?
NOT ME!!!
Stucky da Judge? Now you’re talking sense!
I want hangin’ judges.
From lamp posts!
Too temperamental. You’re so sensitive I’d swear you have a pussy!
Alas, I have but one hole. However, you are welcome to explore it at your leisure.
Stucky, you don’t seem to be the wanted judge. Maybe we should do away with all courts instead.
Vixen Vic (nice new name … #1 and #3 of course)
Although I am dismayed at the Rodney Dangerfield-ish lack of respect, I take comfort that I am in good company.
As you know Jehovah God desired to be king to the people of Israel. However, they rejected Him and chose Saul! It was a Yuge mistake, let me tell you.
Nevertheless, Admin himself still calls on me to settle all disputes, to tally up votes, and to declare winners and losers. He knows that I make wise and just decisions. Like Trump, I am beholden to no one, and I can’t be bought off. I Am that I Am ….. Da Judge.
I probably could have gotten more up votes if I just stopped calling good folk fuktards, asshole, and inviting them to my home for an ass whooping. Being more pro-Trump would help. And for sure, being antiJoo would have swung things in my favor. But, fukkit, that’s not who I Am.
I am most disappointed in Llpoh, El Coyote and RiNS (and even you). I would have bet my left testicle that that would have resulted in 4 up votes. I shall have to reconsider my friendship to you four. Traitors!!
Stucky da Judge ….. whether you like it, or not.
How many of our laws are based on God’s laws? Suddenly murder, theft and a host of other pastimes would become legal.
All U.S. law was based on the Christian religion because those that founded the country were Christians. My, how things change.
Hey Stuck,
Game, Set, Match
Democrats are fucking slime’ i.e., it is not just the Joos.
WTF is the deal wif da two nigger queers kissing?
Yeah, I’ve been getting that too.
If it were two queer niggers dying of AIDS, well it might be OK.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. But then again, I don’t watch TV.
So a practicing Muslim would be disqualified? That seems to be what she is saying, without intending to, I’m sure.
Using Mrs. Feinstein’s logic she as a Jew should not have been sworn in as a Senator. Therefore, she Feinstein should immediately be stripped of her Senatorship and sent to Israel. This harridan, Feinstein needs to shut her useless pie hole and retire to Mexifornia. Maybe take that dufuss Bernie with her?
Hey we don’t want her out here. Keep her in washington or put her in a cage.
She’s unwanted anywhere.
Jews attacking Christians .You tell me these son of a bitches have America’s best interest at heart . I’m sure there will be somebody.
The fucking leftists oppose anyone with even a shred of moral fiber. What I find interesting is how threatened they are by it. There should be a way for conservatives to use this to our advantage.
Joos are instructed in the talmud that is ok to do whatever they want to the goyim (cattle). Lie, cheat, steal, rape, murder, etc. etc. So that is what they do.
