Image result for 'I thought we got away from religious tests': Clarence Thomas addresses Senate Democrats’ litmus tests for Catholic judicial candidates

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is unimpressed with Senate Democrats’ attempts to apply religious tests to Roman Catholic judicial nominees.

That Thomas is saying anything at all on the subject is notable given his reputation for being tight-lipped.

“I thought we got away from religious tests,” Thomas remarked this year during Pepperdine University School of Law’s annual banquet. He was referring to Article VI of the Constitution, which states that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

  1. FDR's packed court made the first attack on Christianity with their "church and state separation" that appears no where in the Constitution...only as a letter to the Baptists to assure them their would be no approved government church. Only the atheists/communists demand religious tests other than of their own secular religion.

      Thanks and I believe we can guess the culprits.I can't believe they haven't used any air resources.

    2. Apparently others think the same regarding helicopters
      and the Seine River. A comment from Townhall:
      Apparently it took 2 hours for the firetrucks to get there because of heavy traffic. Why weren't helicopters used with those huge buckets? The river Seine is right there
