Judicial nominee faces Senate scrutiny over Knights of Columbus membership

Do you think Ginsberg was correct to do what she did?

In the gay marriage case? Yes, absolutely fine. Thanks for asking.

You better get to your end of the world bunker fast. Make sure you have the heavy duty tin foil hat ready too.

That is a bizarre reply. Socialism isn’t the end of the world, it does impinge on liberty though .

A bizarre comment deserves a reply in kind. I'll send the signal to put on your tin foil hat via magic doves.

You have a vivid imagination. Some people believe in 1st Amendment rights for everyone including judicial nominees , others don’t.

Thanks. Having a vivid imagination is a sign of heightened intelligence.

Everyone believes in 1st amendment rights. I think where the dummies like you get confused is that the 1st amendment doesn't guarantee you will be free of the consequences of that speech.

You are a funny guy. Everyone doesn’t believe in the first amendment. Calling people “dummies “ isn’t much of an argument.

Calling you dummy is an observation. Show me one relevant person that doesnt support the first amendment. I wont hold my breath if you dont mind.

Thai illustrates the left's disregard for the judicial temperament and explains a lot. Naturally, had Justice Thomas made it clear he had decided ahead of hearing the case that day marriage should never happen, you wouldn't have a problem with that.

Only with his archaic stance rooted in magical religious belief.

And your characterization of her comments is overwrought nonsense anyway.

"The US supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has said she thinks the country is ready to accept a ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, should the nation’s highest court decide to issue one later this year." Guardian

Mazie Hirono is a good reason to cut Hawaii loose and give it back its sovereignty. If the Knights of Columbus and their potluck dinners are radical then I am not sure what the meaning of that word is anymore.

Someone should tell these bitches that religious tests are unconstitutional. Then consider the commies hypocrisy, trying to insert religion in immigration debates. If not for their hypocrisy they'd have nothing.

Sorry, but that little shield was cast aside when the KoC became politically active.

Fort Fun Indiana, what Ginsburg did was announce that all 50 states were ready for gay marriage (even while most voted that they clearly were not), WEEKS before the Hearing, in a public interview that she did for the media.

You OK with that? You understand how a Justice must not ever give any perception of partiality before a hearing, yes?

So, apparently it's OK for a liberal judge to announce that they will be fully prejudiced in a case coming up, but the mere suspicion of impartiality in a judge that is conservative is "grounds to not approve or impeach"?? Really? Yeah, fuck that.

So what? She was saying, should the court rule for it, she thinks America is ready for it. You are over reaching....faux outrage, faux talking point ...

Really, I guess I missed that constitutional amendment. LMAO

SHE thinks America was ready for gay marriage....when MOST STATES HAD CLEARLY SAID NO TO IT. That's called tyranny. And when announced prior to the Hearing on facts, it is a de facto announcement of her intent on Ruling BEFORE THE FACTS WERE HEARD IN THE CASE.

Ginsburg's private wishes to make it legal in all 50 states vs 100s of millions of US Citizens saying otherwise.

It appears that you did. And since questioning membership of KoC, a politically active group, is not to question membership of a religion, it appears you've missed a lot.

So you'd disqualify 99% of the people who go to black and hispanic churches also, heaven forbid a religious organization espouse their religious values. The commies lost prop 8 primarily because of religious people. I guess you think the 1st amendment is irrelevant too, you know, that free exercise thinggy? It doesn't confine that freedom to your home or church. Maybe N. Korea would be more to your liking.

And the Dims go further and further into the fever swamps of leftwing extremism.

Dems challenge Trump judicial nominee over Knights of Columbus membership

Two Democratic senators are scrutinizing a federal judicial nominee over his membership in the Knights of Columbus, drawing a stern rebuke from the Catholic organization.

Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, raised concerns about Omaha-based lawyer Brian Buescher's membership as part of the Senate Judiciary Committee's review of his nomination by President Trump to sit on the U.S. District Court in Nebraska, as first reported by the Catholic News Agency.

In a series of questions sent to Buescher, Hirono asked whether his membership in the Knights of Columbus would prevent him from hearing cases “fairly and impartially” and, if confirmed, whether he would end his membership in the Roman Catholic charitable organization.

“The Knights of Columbus has taken a number of extreme positions,” Hirono said in the questionnaire. “For example, it was reportedly one of the top contributors to California’s Proposition 8 campaign to ban same-sex marriage.”​

Unfortunately, Knights of Columbus, an all-male organization, have been responsible for policy positions against both women and LGBTs. These guys have to be held accountable, too. You are trying to make these guys immune from blame. They are not. Yes, it is necessary to confront this nominee about his past practices and loyalties.

I don't recall you complaining when Sotomeyer stated for the record she would base her decisions on her being a woman and a Latino?

No , nor do I disqualify this judge nominee. I just said it was a valid question to ask. You are rabid and making shit up.

KoC is a legitimate religious charity, membership shouldn't be questioned regardless of their stated values if they are consistent with their doctrine. That's a religious test.

Do you know what a 'religious test' was at the time the Bill of Rights was composed?

That is what you are implying by saying the KoC are a reason that these nominees were asked about the association to that group.
