Catholics go to Catholic schools and get a better education than most people. The schools are known for standards amd rigor.

The Catholic tenant that prohibits contraception compelled its population toward the majority. However, the Muslim population is working its way to surpassing that.

I am not Catholic but I love believing Catholics; now politicians are another story. I love them also but they are in my prayers for conversion to Jesus Yeshua.

No, this is a statement of fact. Analysis of a “conspiracy” would lead to an application of human imagination which is often prone to bias or error. In the study of Bible prophecy however there is a clear explanation.

Catholics in the US are estimated to make up 22% of the population.

I don’t know that is applicable to the post. This is a link to recent bar passage rates by Universities. Some are Catholic, most are not.

That's my point. Atheists should be making MUCH more fuss about this than protestants. Do you know how much protestant churches across the board have lost attendance, and how much atheism has grown?

If the perponderance of catholics on the Supreme Court bothers a protestant, atheists should be rioting in the streets!

Yeah but that’s why I’m saying it and that’s why you’re saying it.
Why are these Catholics there when it should be Protestants?
Something fishy here huh?

What is the percentage of candidates to choose from? And of those doing the nominating and confirming, what percentage of those are catholic? If it goes by majority vote, there only need by 29% approval among non-Catholics.

1. America isn't "Protestant."
2. Why do you think Catholic Supremes would eliminate the Constitution as the "law of the Republic?"

Just trying to ascertain all factors that have affected into the reality. For instance, hasn't it been commonly and historically preached among protestant pulpits that religion has no part in politics?

Ketamine Brown Jackson - Protestant
do you think we could call her Ketanji Brown Jackson? you know, since that's her name and all?

i'm sure this was unintentional, but ketamine is an anesthetic.

Her opinions put me to sleep.
