Did the Religious Background of SCOTUS Affect its Decision?

[longknife]

The rabid left is going nuts over the Hobby Lobby decision and seeks anyway to explain or even claim it was unjust. To do so, they now attack the so-called religious affiliation of the Supreme Court.

My response is – so what? It's done.

It is true that six justices are (at least nominally) Catholic, though only 24% of Americans are members of that faith.

It is also true that three justices are Jewish, though less than 2% (1.7% to be exact) of the U.S. population are Jewish.

Oh yeah, and there are no Evangelical Christians who make up 27% of the American population.

The Constitution is very clear that no religious test should be applied to officials. Why do liberals hate the Constitution?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

So that's why they overturned Roe v Wade

I realize that this will be lost on you. It's an expansion of corporate person-hood.

It's far better for these decisions to be made by the court than to have Obama playing favorites and deciding which groups should get exemptions from the LAW.

 

[Disir]

Or someone like Ted Cruz.

Doesn't matter. Only way to remove a Justice from the bench is through impeachment, and you can do that unless they commit some felonious crime. Voting the wrong way isn't gonna cut it regardless of motive.

nope, its a narrowly set ruling, only applicable to limited ownership corporations that happen to self insure like hobby lobby does. It may extend to non profits, but that's about it.

Its about one law vs. another, and the first law won.

It had nothing to do with their religion.
It had everything to do with a law passed by Democrats called the The Religious Freedom Act passed by congress in both houses in 1993 and the majority in House and Senate were Democrats.
Dems are having a fit over their own bill.
Priceless.

 

[IlarMeilyr]

So that's why they overturned Roe v Wade

Oh, SNAP!

Few words; but completely guts the laughable lolberal argument.

I just wish I could rep CF again. Later, I guess.

So, if a SCOTUS Justice voted for the Hobby Lobby position because of that jurist's religion, then presumably other SCOTUS Justices voted AGAINST the Hobby Lobby position because of those jurist's respective religions.

We need more outwage!

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Less because of religion than of bank deposits.

Expansion of corporate person hood.

When is the left going to stop whining about freedom of religion?

 

[LiberalMedia]

When is the left going to stop whining about freedom of religion?

Only when it is abolished. Until then, we shall continue on our secular crusade to lyberate humynkynd from the tyrannical grip of the mental patriarchy that is religion.
