There are too many of them on the Supreme Court and some other choice opinions.
I don’t even know what to say.

If she bums out pat buchanan she’ll probably do just fine.
It does make me wonder though:How many of any religion is too many?

Well, the minute Souter left there were no Episcopalians left on the Court.

How long has it been since they’ve had an agnostic?

The whole court is agnostic, Ernie. Separation of church and state, you know…
I’d argue that ethnic screening is irrelevant.

Eric,
I’m not sure this is the slam dunk you seem to think it is. Given Buchanan’s history, he’s not the right guy to have brought this up, but it does seem strange that there will be no Protestants on the court. If you can justify seeking diversity by naming female, Jewish, black, Catholic, and Hispanic justices, the logic ought to work in reverse.
But given Bush v Gore, any nominee with intellectual honesty will be a vast improvement, regardless of whether they’re Bahai or not.

They would never appoint an open agnostic.
No Protestants? Really?

Mitch – I didn’t know that, but I’ve never been a fan of quota-based affirmative action anyway for minorities. I’m certainly not going to support it for Protestants.

But what’s with all the Muslims winning beauty pageants?

Eric,
I understand opposition to quota-based affirmative action. But come on, would you really assert that the selected nominee for each open position on the Supreme Court is the best qualified for the job? Or even that there is such a thing as the single best-qualified person for that job?
