Just what we need, another Jew on the SCOTUS.  There are other people in the US besides Catholics and Jews.

STOP blaming that on democrats. We'd put a Hindu or Buddhist or an Atheist on SCOTUS, we cant, because the bigots on the right don't understand the meaning of "NO RELIGIOUS TEST". And those BIGOTS have been selling "Christian Nation" dominionism since Falwell hijacked the party.

Nope sorry, the GOP is the party of bigots. Trump is running for that same party. 

If you want someone outside the same, the GOP obstructionists need to confirm his nomination. His short list DID include non Catholics and non Jews. He won't offer them to congress because it would be pointless. And right now the brats on the right hate everything he does. Obama could shit gold and they would call it fake.

Yeah, right.

Where's that damn asteroid?

Trump would nominate Roy Moore before he'd nominate a Buddhist or Hindu. And even if he wanted to, which is bullshit, even if he wanted to he'd STILL be dealing with the same bigoted congress dominated by the GOP sells hatred of gays and panders to the likes of Kim Davis.

This isn't even just about Trump or this cycle.

Our country has lacked good civics lesions for far too long, and the cold war fearmongering since the 50s when "God" was plastered in the Pledge, and put on all currency, our right wing has forced even Democrats to pander to religion.

Now, if you think those things are harmless, then why are you now bitching about only Jews and Catholics being on the court? The reason the founders put "No religious test" in our oath of office, is so we would NOT end up looking like Sunnis and Shiites like in the East.

You ARE supporting the party of bigotry. You are supporting the dominionist party. NOT ME.

No religious test?  So why are only Jews and Catholics on the SCOTUS?  It's time to end that segregated club.

Will you stop saying Jew, make up your mind are your for diversity or against it?

I don't care if our nominee for SCOTUS is a Jew or a Buddhist or an Atheist, I care about the laws that affect our economy and the laws that protect us from becoming a theocracy. I want a judge, no matter their label that is going to protect the anti monopoly concept the Constitution is. One that maintains separation of power, one that protects dissent, and one that does not give a shit what the religion of the person holding office is.

He is a liberal I could give one care less if he is Jewish. Again, we cant have more diversity because of the GOP.

There's no Constitutional requirements for being on the SCOTUS.  The big wigs made up some phony qualifications to exclude everyone who isn't in their club.
