When This Blows Over

Could you imagine if senators had asked Justice Ginsburg the exact same
question, except about her Jewish faith or that senators ask the exact same
question to a Protestant because of their faith. “Oh, I see you're a religious
person; you're a very devout person; does your Jewish dogma live loudly…” It's
such a bizarre way of putting it, in fact, but I think it shows to me that what the
Democrats are going to do here… I really wish they didn't… I hope they would
take it on the merits, but instead they're going to use the fact that she's a devout
Catholic, that she went to Notre Dame, that she's a professor at Notre Dame, that
she has a large family, has had a good upstanding moral life - They're going to try
to use that against her and say “Oh, being Catholic to me is a stand-in or a proxy
for a certain view about Roe versus Wade or gay marriage. As Richard just said,
Catholic justices vote on both sides of all of those issues. I think something is
terribly, terribly unfair - it almost verges on the constitutional prohibition of
having a religious test for public office.
“The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious
encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without
understanding.”
“Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect
liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent.”
“Most of the things worth doing in the world had been
declared impossible before they were done.”
“If you would only recognize that life is hard, things would be
so much easier for you.”
― Justice Louis D. Brandeis
