Alan Dershowitz on Amy Coney Barrett: ‘America Still Suffers from Subtle Anti-Catholicism’

Robert Kraychik 26 Sep 2020

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said “subtle anti-Catholicism” exists in America, remarking on the possible Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett in an interview on Thursday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with host Joel Pollak.

Breitbart News reported that Barrett, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, continues to be a frontrunner on Trump’s shortlist for the Supreme Court. Several reports from varying news media cite anonymous White House sources that Trump has chosen Barrett.

Dershowitz reflected on Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) questioning of Barrett’s Catholicism during the latter’s confirmation hearings to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 2017.

“Sen. Feinstein asked her the question and attacked her religion as ‘dogma.’ That was so clearly in violation of the Constitution, which says, ‘No religious test shall ever be required for office under the United States.’”

Ummmmm ... "subtle" may be accurate if the context is the whole nation, but anti-Catholic bigotry in academia, the MSM, and Dem pols is not subtle.

Of course it does. Almost entirely in the northern and western states,where the left is in control,and they resent the fact that modern Catholics don't drink the Dim Kool-Ade anymore.

Communists have always hated competition. It is at the very core of their beliefs. It's why they exist.

Considering six of the current court members are Catholic then the anti-Catholicism must be really, really, really subtle.
