Where’s the “…Need Not Apply” Sign?

Not saying they got the idea from Councilor Volinsky, but it seems a pair of U.S. Senators think the no-religious-test thing in the Constitution has been quietly deactivated.

From a commentary by Tiffany Bates in The Daily Signal:

Senator Feinstein in happier days, unburdened by "dogma."
Senator Feinstein in happier days, unburdened by “dogma.”

“Do you consider yourself an orthodox Catholic?” is an unusual and inappropriate question for a senator to ask a judicial nominee. In fact, the Constitution forbids it.

But that didn’t stop Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., from probing Notre Dame Law professor Amy Coney Barrett about her faith. Sen. Dianne Feinstein. D-Calif., also chided Barrett for being a practicing Catholic, proclaiming “The dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern.”

Barrett is a nominee for a federal appellate judgeship. Her nomination is moving forward in spite of Durbin and Feinstein.

“The dogma lives loudly within you…” Not only in Catholics, Senator Feinstein.
