It would appear Dianne Feinstein has concerns about an appeals court nominee because she is Catholic.

Dogma.
Gosh, you think she’s worried a Catholic mother of seven might understand that life is life?

Of course it is. Imagine the fit she’d throw if a Republican was concerned about an appointee’s Muslim faith.

Huh. Ideology.
Fascinating.

Of course not. If she said this to a Muslim they’d be screeching about Islamaphobia, but since Barrett is Catholic making an issue of her faith is AOK.
@kurtimus And the Constitution specifically forbids religious "tests" of office holders.

Oops.
So…we can only appoint atheists to the court? Except that atheists' beliefs may color their judgement. Heck, we can't appoint ANYBODY.
