Hawley warns Schumer to steer clear of Catholic-based criticisms of Barrett
By Alexander Bolton - 09/26/20 07:51 PM EDT

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), a rising star on the Judiciary Committee and outspoken critic of Roe v. Wade, sent a letter Saturday to Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) warning him and other Democrats to refrain from criticizing Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett on the basis of her Catholicism.

Hawley, who has advocated for a nominee with a record of skepticism toward Roe v. Wade, called on Democrats to steer clear of any attacks that target Barrett’s religious beliefs.

“I call on you and every member of the Democratic Caucus to publicly reject Senator Dianne Feinstein’s egregious personal attacks on Judge Barrett’s Christian faith during her previous confirmation hearings, and to pledge you will abstain from that kind of anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, anti-faith vitriol in the hearings to come,” Hawley wrote in a letter to Schumer.

Too late!  With 100 million Catholics in the USA, they have already pissed off 20 million of them.  Keep up the good work you numbnuts!!!

Yes, but numbered in that 100 million are lots like Pelosi and Biden, who should have been anathematized years ago for their defiance of the Latin church's teachings on abortion and sexuality.

We don't need 100% of the 100 million.  There will always be a large number of "Bedwetting" Catholics who vote Rat like it is ordained from God to do so.  But it would be nice to see a 10-20 point gain from the sane ones in the flock.
