The judge has been questioned before about her conservative religious views, the Democrat Dianne Feinstein telling her in a Senate hearing in 2017 'the dogma lives loudly in you'.

Barrett defended her position, saying there was no conflict of interest between her strong personal faith and her ability to be a judge. Barrett's positions on immigration, healthcare and LGBTQ rights worry Democrats and progressive groups, particularly over whether she will vote to approve additional restrictions on abortion

  • Imagine appealing to a different religion towards thus same argument. The double standards are absolutely disgraceful.
  • @njohn6995
    I wish someone tells me some day “ the dogma lives loudly within you”.
  • Sen. Feinstein has created an new American saying: "The dogma lives loudly within You." is even better than "It's the land of the free!"
  • @drjjfeeney
    If she’s confirmed, she needs to thank Feinstein. Her religious attack made her a star and propelled her into national prominence.
  • @maulporphy4399
    Senator Feinstein trying to impose a religious standard for confirmation in direct contradiction of the First Amendment of the Constitution. Shameful. Disgusting.

    Spoken by a person who had a Chinese spy for a driver for 20 years.

    'The dogma lives in Judge Barrett, that is of concern', says Sen Feinstein . The devil lives in the Democrats, that is of concern, too.
  • @LaMOi1
    Religious bigotry. So judges who have strongly held beliefs/ideologies (which arnt Christian), that’s ok then? Lol What a load of baloney.
  • @rconger24
    The DCdogma lives loudly within YOU, Senator Feinstein. ...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the under the United States." United States Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3:
  • @Del-Martinez-
    Any worldview has a “dogma” or set of “truth statements” which define it. That was such an ignorant statement that I can’t fully express its complete absurdity. Mrs Feinsteins dogmatic presuppositional idiocy lived loudly through that ridiculous blathering
  • Hey Frankenstien why are you not in jail for having a ChiCom spy on your staff for 25 years?
  • @ramoth777
    Leftists are putting Barrett in the hot seat because her religious convictions don't line up with theirs. Hmm...whatever happened to "diversity is our strength"? 🤔

    The Guardian supports women as long as they are leftists.
  • @markdarocha
    Great news that Amy Coney Barrett has been proposed to take over from the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the key here is upholding the law as it is written in the constitution. Religion, race and creed and political affiliations are not the important elements to consider.

    Funny how anyone who criticizes Omar is a bigot but criticizing someone for being a Christian is AOK from Dems.
