This is Whitaker, how can you say he is remotely qualified for the job at hand?
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker once said Jews, Muslims and Atheists should not be federal judges
New acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said in 2014 that judges without a New Testament “biblical view of justice,” should not serve on the federal bench and suggested that he would block the appointment of non-Christian judges if given the chance.
While Whitaker singled out atheists in particular as being unfit to serve, his comments also extended to Jewish and Muslim Americans.
...
But Whitaker said that using belief in natural law as a criterion for appointing U.S. federal judgeships did not go far enough.
“As someone that’s interacted with the federal judiciary a time or two, I will tell you that I have a unique perspective on federal judges,” he said.
“And while I agree that I want to understand their judicial philosophy and whether they understand natural law and natural rights and then the founding documents and how they fit together...I don’t think that gets us far enough because natural law oftentfimes is used from the eye of the beholder," he continued. "What I’d like to see is things like their worldview.… Are they people of faith? Do they have a biblical view of justice? I think that is very important.”
The moderator interrupted Whitaker and asked “Levitical or New Testament?” which is an indirect way of asking whether people of the Jewish faith should be banned from serving as federal judges.
“I’m a New Testament,” responded Whitaker to laughter. “And what I know is as long as they have that [New Testament] worldview that they’ll be a good judge.”
Under those guidelines, Whitaker would also question the ability of Muslim-Americans and other non-Christian Americans to sit on the federal bench.
A biblical view of justice stones a lot of people and treats women like crap.
He never said that. It's more Democrat lies.
He said that men of faith should be judges.
You lie.
Whitaker said: "All judges should be Christian".
Which is the same as saying that Jews, Muslims and Atheists should not be federal judges.

Making the revealing remarks at a conservative forum in Iowa, where he was angling to be the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate, Whitaker stated judges needed a “biblical view of justice,” reported The Guardian. ...
