Progressives Deploy Religious Ignorance and Bigotry to Stop Amy Coney Barrett | National Review
By David French
July 2, 2018 2:48 PM

Efforts to block the highly qualified Barrett from the Supreme Court because of her faith betray our nation’s founding ideals.

If you ever need much evidence that the growing “God gap” in American politics fosters an immense amount of ignorance and occasionally outright bigotry, look no farther than the concern — the alarm, even — that Amy Coney Barrett is on President Trump’s short list to replace Anthony Kennedy on the United States Supreme Court.

The alarm isn’t about her credentials. She’s checked every box of excellence — law review, appellate-court clerkship, Supreme Court clerkship (with Justice Scalia), elite law-firm experience, law professor at an elite law school, and now experience as a federal judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. She’s a young, brilliant woman at the apex of her profession.

So, beyond her obvious originalist judicial philosophy (shared to varying degrees by every person on Trump’s list of potential nominees), what’s the problem with Judge Barrett. Why do some progressives single her out for particular scorn?

Being a medievalist, I'm certain we're not dealing with the kind of Friday the 13th the Pope and French Crown instituted against the Templars after the Crusades (the Templars had money, lots of it, the King of France and the Vatican wanted it) and burned them at the stake for it, . . . . with Judge Barrett.

I gotta wonder how much crap DiFi would have dished out if Judge Barrett had been Hindu.

The irony is, abortion is as close to a sacrament the Left has. It certainly isn't based on science.
