Gauging the Pope's Supreme Court

Well, it seems like America's fundamentalists and fascists have finally found a successful strategy when it comes to picking Supreme Court Justices. When in doubt, nothing but a Catholic will do. Can't ask a Supreme Court nominee about Roe vs. Wade? Nominate a Catholic. Bummed out about that pesky establishment clause in the First Amendment? Nominate a Catholic. Sick and tired of brown folks clamoring for equal opportunity? Nominate a Catholic. Get a little queasy imagining what homosexuals might be up to in the bedroom? Nominate a Catholic.

Let's review. Of the eleven Catholic Supreme Court Justices in the history of the United States, five of them currently darken the halls of Supreme Court. They are Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, and Alito. Let's review the impact of the Court's Catholic Cabal (CCC) in recent decisions that have been handed down.

  • Upholding the Partial Birth Abortion ban? Catholics yea, all other justices nay.
  • Excise a student's free speech rights? Catholics yea, all other justices nay.
  • Scrapping voluntary public school desegregation? Catholics yea, all other justices nay.

It goes on and on. Can't somebody just please, make it all go away? We're losing our country here. It's being ripped away, decision by decision. Arggghhhhh.
