Harris: judge not qualified because he's Catholic.

Kamala Harris said today Trump's nominee Brian Buescher is not qualified to be a federal judge because he's a "Catholic, with a membership in the Knights of Columbus".

Didn't we have a strong anti-Catholic movement in the 1850's? Is Harris any different from the "Know Nothings" in the 19th century? Will this kill any Catholic vote for the Dems?

 

Do you think Kamala would say the same thing if the Judge was Muslim ? I doubt it.

 

Provide a direct quote and reference, please. Where Kamala Harris says that he is "not qualified" because he's a Catholic or because he's a member of the Knights of Columbus.

 

During a recent Judiciary Committee hearing Harris – as well as Hawaii Democrat Mazie Hirono – attacked Trump nominee Brian C. Buescher to the U.S. District Court in Nebraska over his Catholic faith.

Buescher is a member of the Catholic fraternal organization the Knights of Columbus – which engages in acts of charity and humanitarian aid around the globe – and also supports traditional Biblical values on abortion and homosexual marriage.

So these two anti-Christian bigots attacked Buescher and demanded he renounce his Christian faith.

“The Knights of Columbus has taken a number of extreme positions,” Hirono ranted. “If confirmed, do you intend to end your membership with this organization to avoid any appearance of bias?”

Harris grilled Buescher over what he knew about the Knights of Columbus’ pro-life beliefs when he joined the organization as a teenager, “Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman’s right to choose when you joined the organization?”

Finding that was easy.

 

Today's progressives are disgusting. They claim anyone who criticizes them is racist, they despise freedom of speech and freedom of religion and appear to think fascist measure are required and acceptable to silence any dissent. So sad...

 

What the hell is all this crap?

My request is simple: Provide a direct quote and reference of Kamala Harris saying what the OP claims she said.

Shouldn't be difficult. Can you or can you not provide the quote? If you can't, why are you responding?

Or are you trying to tell me that the poster lied?

 

In questioning the nominee, she harped on his membership in the "all male" subversive organization known as the Knights of Columbus. She makes it clear he's unqualified for the job because of his religion.

Google "Kamala Harris and Mazie Hirono trying to bar observant Catholics from public office -Washington Times".

Catholics need not apply.

 

Is knights of columbus a religion now?

 

It's a Catholic organization. Did you not know that?

 

I did, but criticizing someone for membership in a particular org that happens to be catholic, does not equate to "you're a papist you're not qualified".

 

The progressives' desire to silence all opposition is getting out of hand. So now being "pro-life" is a disqualifier for public office?

 

She quoted Catholic beliefs about abortion, homosexuality, etc. and said this was extremist, letting it be known she thought he was not ideologically suited for the position of federal judge.

So if you're a Catholic, or of any other faith, just stay home and don't bother to seek employment in government.

 

I mean your religious beliefs have nothing to do with constitutional law except where they conflict. It's a fair question to ask if hell follow stare decisis or his personal belief. Every judge is asked questions like these.
If your religious belief colors your constitutional rulings you're unfit to be a judge. If you cant sit there and calmly explain you wont do that to the people you're trying to get to give you the job, you probably dont merit the appointment.

 

I'll have to look up the KofC reference. I'm not sure if they are considered racist or just difficult to obtain a membership. Here's an article that supports your thoughts on religious persecution in the U.S.

LOL

Those dems are all over the place with separation of church and state. I don't think they understand the Constitution.

 

Oh, and no to your question about Catholics voting for Dems. You see, the church has become more liberal over the years. Those of the LGBTQ community attend mass and receive the sacraments without a complaint. Many Catholics have received abortions. Most do not follow the doctrine to use no unnatural birth control. It's not the same as it was.

 

Trump is proud of his talent for lying. He calls it "truthful hyperbole," and he considers it a political tactic. Trump defines truthful hyperbole in this way.

"The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration, and a very effective form of promotion."

"I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world," Trump said during a morning session with reporters.

Only his staunchest fans could believe that remark.

 

Many folks are racist in some way or another. It wouldn't surprise me if it was well over 50% of the population and that includes all races in that figure. A skin color does not make it impossible to be racist. If you'd rather use the term bigot, that's fine.

 

Clown.

She said he’s not qualified to be a federal judge because of his Catholic beliefs and his association with a Catholic organization.

Read between the lines. Are you capable of doing that? It takes a level of intelligence beyond the first grade.

 

She doesn’t want Catholics in positions of power. She hates their anti-abortion views.

 

That's better. Her questions were directed at the K of C, not Catholicism You would know that if you read your article. Whatever.

 

Well then i guess the guys who wrote the constitution were unqualified to interpret it.
The constitution is a direct result of their religious beliefs.

 

No. Provide a quote. You know what a quote is?

You said

"Kamala Harris said today Trump's nominee Brian Buescher is not qualified to be a federal judge because he's a "Catholic, with a membership in the Knights of Columbus".​

Show the quote! Easy enough. And this post was from yesterday. So the quote must be from yesterday.

Please don't tell me you lied and that she never said that. Just show the quote!

 

I guess you’re not intelligent enough to read a narrative (including quotes) and draw solid conclusions.

 

She said this at the hearing. She will not allow Catholics to serve on the federal judiciary. She’s an intolerant bigot. She’s not fit for her office, much less the presidency.

The left has a real problem with religion. They’re secular zealots. Government is their religion.

 

Problem with having a Catholic judge is on issues like abortion, you're going to have a pro-life bias in the court system.
