Kamala Harris And Mazie Hirono Are Pushing To Bar Catholics From Public Service
(Yes, the rats want to destroy religious freedoms.)
The Constitution calls for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
It would do Sens. Kamala Harris and Mazie Hirono would be wise to read it.
That is because the two want to keep Catholics from serving in public office, The Washington Examiner reported.
In September 2017, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., suggested Judge Amy Coney Barrett is too Catholic to serve on the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
More than a year later, Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, and Kamala Harris, D-Calif., have renewed Feinstein’s line of attack, suggesting this month that attorney Brian Buescher may also be unfit to serve as a federal judge on account of his Catholic faith. The only difference between now and September 2017 is that Hirono and Harris are not so explicit in their bigotry.
(They forgot the John F. Kennedy was a Catholic.)
In a set of written questions submitted to the nominee to the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska, Hirono and Harris zeroed in on Buescher’s affiliation with the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic charitable organization founded in 1882. Harris’ questions began by noting that Buescher has been a member of “an all-male society comprised primarily of Catholic men” since 1993.
She then asked a number of leading questions, including, “Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman’s right to choose when you joined the organization?” and, “Have you ever, in any way, assisted with or contributed to advocacy against women’s reproductive rights?” and, “Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed marriage equality when you joined the organization?”
This is not so bad, though you can see Harris is clearly using the Knights as a foil to argue Buescher’s adherence to basic Catholic doctrine renders him unfit to serve on the court. The real magic comes when Sen. Hirono takes the same tack, going after the judicial nominee for being a member of a group known best for its flashy uniforms and pancake breakfasts.
“The Knights of Columbus has taken a number of extreme positions,” writes the senator from Hawaii.
By “extreme,” she means the Knights oppose abortion and same-sex marriage. In other words, the group is adhering to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
Hirono then goes on to ask several related questions, including, “If confirmed, do you intend to end your membership with this organization to avoid any appearance of bias?” and, “If confirmed, will you recuse yourself from all cases in which the Knights of Columbus has taken a position?” and, “Given your membership in this organization, what assurances can litigants have that you will deal with reproductive rights and abortion issues fairly and impartially?”
The ridiculousness of barring people from serving because they have Catholic beliefs and follow their religion is abhorrent.
Would they ask these same questions of a Muslim judicial nominee?

Hey, Democrats! If Catholics can't be judges because of their 'extreme' religious beliefs, should we assume you want Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Keith Ellison to resign from Congress? https://t.co/1N7iJwC2RY
