She has to go with the law. "Jesus says" is not a legal argument.
The 'Law' is whatever the Supreme Court says it is.

It has to be in accordance with the Constitution.
Yes. Of course. And the Justices get to 'interpret' what the Constitution says.
The one they gave. Render unto Caesar. If they can't, then they should recuse themselves.
Oooookay. So what is your solution? Nine gay atheists who will "get to 'interpret' what the Constitution says"?
Don't you need to prove that a judge is unable to set their personal beliefs aside and rule on the merits of a case according to the law?
Under Jackoff's scenario, only atheists should be allowed on the bench in any court, right?
I'm conducting a 'Poll'.
It's concerning 'Queers'. Something frowned on by 'Religious types'.
I, like others, have seen Barrett's religious affiliations: 'People of Praise'.
--->"At the same time, the Louisiana native and Notre Dame Law graduate, a favorite among Trump’s evangelical Christian base, has said legal careers ought not to be seen as means of gaining satisfaction, prestige or money, but rather “as a means to the end of serving God” "<---
Emphasis placed on "as a means to the end of serving God".
Just a Poll. Wondering how others feel. So far, 3 people say 'it's all good, nothing to worry about'. 2 others state a 'name change' would solve the problem. (Like, it wouldn't be a 'Marriage', ... it would be a 'Pairriage', or 'Civil Union', or 'Domestic Partnership', or 'Room Mates' or something)
No. You said the key word: "set their personal beliefs aside". Barrett, using her own words, may not be able to do that. --->"as a means to the end of serving God"<---
may not be able to do that.
Where's the link to your quote? I think she'll be just fine.....I'm very impressed with her...are you not?No. You said the key word: "set their personal beliefs aside". Barrett, using her own words, may not be able to do that.

Indeed....Key words:
Get back to me if you can ever prove that she wasn't able to set her personal beliefs aside.
Sounding a bit silly... when was the last time SCOTUS Nominee and Appeals Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett picked up rocks to kill folks for picking up sticks on the Sabbath? When was the last time a Jewish person did such a thing? It is their particular part of the Bible that you are reading from (fourth book of the Torah).
The reality is, pretending you are afraid that Amy Coney Barrett is going to take up arms against folks chopping wood on Sunday is absurd, and useless, it takes a true belief in the dogma of your political party to really believe that such nonsense will happen or to convince yourself it is a valid question.
I saw the poll, but you arguing about Christians on the Bench. That's a different argument. The state should call them all the same thing. It's up to the individuals to call it a "marriage" based upon their individual rules and choices. If a couple wanted to call it a "bonding", a "binding" or a "buddy fucking", that's their choice. The state only cares (or should) about tax revenue and establishing a legal agreement. It should be standard for everyone.

I've given you a link to 'People of Praise'. You can read it and come up with your own conclusion.
Jack wants to pretend that Sotomayor would vote with "Jesus first" because: Catholic... Unless he is a hypocrite and only cares if it is a rightwinger Catholic.
The reality is, his "religious test" is itself against the constitution (and directly so, it says no religious test should be applied). Any nominee should simply tell them so when they ask about it.
There are currently 5 Catholics on the Supreme Court, it is just "this one" that Jack worries about because he doesn't want this President to nominate anybody...
Too late.
I disagree...but you're entitled to your opinion...."Amy Coney Barrett: spotlight falls on secretive Catholic group People of Praise"

She sounds like a Religious Quack.
So what?
Get back to me if you can ever prove that ACB wasn't able to set her personal beliefs aside.
Did you assume that RBG was going to rely om Mosaic law when she heard a case?
