Radical leftists are now attempting to block Christians from becoming judges. Breitbart reports:
Pro-choice Democrats from the Senate Judiciary Committee harassed U.S. District Court nominee Brian C. Buescher for his membership in the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic charitable organization, suggesting that this affiliation might disqualify him for judgeship.
As the Senate Committee reviewed the candidacy of Brian C. Buescher for the District of Nebraska, Senators Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) asked whether belonging to the Knights of Columbus could prevent Mr. Buescher from hearing cases “fairly and impartially.”
The senators suggested that the Knights’ opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage could cloud the candidate’s vision and impair his judgment. The questions smelled oddly of a religious litmus test, since the positions under examination are held and taught by the Catholic Church itself and are not unique to the Knights of Columbus.
Article VI of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from considering a person’s faith when assessing fitness to hold federal office. This clause is part of the original Constitution and has been a bedrock principle since the founding of the Republic.
This isn’t the first time that Democrats violate the separation of Church and State to bar their opponents from office.
and yet, millions of Christians vote Democrat

This is why we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights. Our founding fathers would have jailed all these radicals a long time ago.
The founders clearly believed that Christianity would not “cloud” their view and judgement but would clear it. There is to be NO Religious (or anti-religious) test for offices in the US Government including all three branches–Judiciary included!
It’s the two tier system for the democrats. This is the party of hate, hypocrisy and hysteria.
These people are not Democrats, they are Statist/Socialists. They are far left and akin to Communists. They are anti-American, open-border, high tax and spend,
anti-military, anti-second amendment, probably want the bill of rights totally removed from the U.S. Constitution and of course anit-religious freedom. They are a threat to our freedoms and must be stopped every chance we get.
Thank God SOMEONE else gets this!
You are so correct Rich
Isn’t is a little odd that Democrat Party will accept ISLAM, Islamic Muslims into their roles in US Government positions but ignore the fact, (ISLAM is anti-Christian) and is also opposite, “American Constitutional Laws.” The Muslim Ayatollah’s reject all of the Western Culture Laws and preach only “Sharia Law & Quran” to Muslims. What are Democrats doing to our United States of America just to get votes?
Herb: They are just being Democrats. They are international Socialists/Communists and they will continue to use every tactic possible to destroy Christianity, our Constitution and America. The sad part is, we have spineless Republicans that support the Democrat agenda just so everyone currently in the Washington Elected Elite, can stay there. I have no problem with a person preferring their religion over others, but don’t tell, me I have to comply with their religion and governing beliefs. Article VI of the Constitution is very clear that a persons religion cannot be used against them for consideration of public office. We will never get rid of the socialist agenda and Democrats agenda to destroy Christianity and America until America finally stands up and says enough is enough. But you know as well as I do, far too many Americans have become too complacent, and are concerned with only their lives, and not the American way of life. Islam is anti-American and their push for world wide dominance cannot succeed unless Christianity, other religions and western civilization, as we know it, are destroyed. Glenn Beck wrote a book titled “It’s all about Islam”. Those who have not read his book should do so. Also Republicans and Conservatives must get better organized and prepared for elections so the Anti-Americans get voted out of office. God Bless America.
Odd? Try: insane.
We are staring Communism in the face. They want to control every aspect of your life. They are doing it already with your children that attend public schools. They don’t want prayers, a Bible or the Ten Commandments in any of our public schools. They are brain washing the kids. Children are being confused because they are attempting to make things gender neutral. They are banning classic books. Some of you may not have had in depth history classes but this is thee same thing Hitler did. If someone had told my parents they weren’t welcome at a school I was attending or didn’t have a voice in the what we were being taught my dad would have ripped the building down brick by brick. What’s happening is real, be aware, homeschool your children. Communist & Socialist are dangerous people. They are trying to destroy our way of life, our
rights as American citizens. That’s what all this Political Correctness is about. We need to protect ourselves and our children. I didn’t mean to preach at you but total awareness is crucial at this time. If it goes the other way it will be ugly.
The Pilgrims were a collective the first two years. It wasn’t working. They went to Capitalism and became rich busting they’re asses. they started Thanks Giving because of that. From a collectivism as obama wants come communism and socialism.
The DEMS take all laws and the Bible out of context to satisfy their narrative >

It’s amazing to me how the Democrats are suppose to be lawmakers, but never seem to know what the laws are. Get a clue Dems. Questions about religion have been illegal for a long time.
I would like to believe their attacks are simply the result of ignorance. Alas, I do not believe they are ignorant, just viscerally opposed to Christianity and the plain provisions of the Constitution. They perceive the U. S. Constitution as a big, inconvenient impediment to their quest for unfettered power. God forbid they ever achieve a majority in both houses again – I don’t know if the republic can survive that.
Can you imagine taking the same position with respect to Islam?
These people are dangerous to America, we as Christians will never loose our faith because of the likes of the left wing. End of story.
I think you mean lose not loose. :o)
Remember this….during the 2012 election the Democrat national committee actually denounced good from their platfom….I mean who does this…just shows you where their true colors are at…are they real Americans?
Why don’t they round up all the sorry a*s worthless scumbag DemoRATS ,thugs, and the scumbag Muslims, and dump their sorry a*s in a old mine pit
Send them with 1 way tickets to VENEZUELA!!!!!
Schumer and Nancy Pelosi need to be impeached now,how they are destroying America together
TOTALLY AGREE! I believe that the Dem. ‘party’, truly wishes to become. the “Socialist Party’-even tho’ they trash Trump for, ‘thinking’ about talking to a Socialist/Communist!
what else do you expect of the democrats after what they tried to railroad Kavanaugh on his supreme court deal
The only ‘reason’ the Dem’s fought, ‘so hard’, against Kavanaugh, wa to PREVENT a CONSERVATIVE, to gain a Seat in the Supreme Court! Everyone knows that & the Fact that Feinstein, invented & originated a ‘plan’, using Ford, to lget him ‘dismissed-only to improve Feinstein’s chances, of getting re-elected! She was ‘down’, in the polls, prior to her ‘trick’! That is what the Dem. Party ‘people’ do!~It is the ONLY way, they win elections! Did not work THAT time-will not work again!
Hirono and Harris both knew Ford was a fraud yet they pushed to have Kavanaugh disqualifed. They are both horrible human beings and should resign office but DemocRATS are RATS and those to fit the bill. How could anyone vote those two in office they are the scum of the earth what they tried to do to Kavanaugh. They knew the real trooth yet they pushed the lie! And that Harris is looking to be President she has to be stopped, she is as bad as Hillart is.
American government has been corrupt for a while and reached it’s peek with the obama administration , due to Americans blind patriotism and having the false mindsets that any government is too big to fight or fail and that an other party vote is wasted besides the current established corrupt rhinos and especially democrats! Americans do not resist the true source!
Waters , Pelosi, Are members of Christian orgs and most demo elected and appointed like judges are of Christian blood lines but all Obama chose are anti USA Muslims .They use religion when it suites them and against religion when its handy for them. Bunch of lieing d.wads.
You are so right , I couldn’t have said it any better
Or how they can be Americans.
they are about as much true American as obama is or if you go by the constitution as marco rubio is because his parents were cuban citizens when he was born and did not become citizens until he was around 4 years old
I am not a Roman Catholic but I can smell a “religious litmus test” from a mile away, especially coming from two of the biggest hypocrites in our Senate. Harris should be disqualified from her seat for sleeping her way to the top of California government and an ugly affair with San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, a man 32 years her senior. She was a trollop who believes in sleeping her way through politics, now she condemns a Knights of Columbus member for have religious values? As for Hirono she is the biggest two-faced morons in the senate…Mazie Hirono (D-HI) sent out a fundraising email for her re-election campaign a mere 30 minutes after Ford’s opening statement began. So it appears you can be politically corrupt you just can’t show any religious affiliations?
Senator Hirono sang a different tune in the early 1990s when—her mentor, the late Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye—was “credibly accused” of rape and sexual misconduct by 6 women. In fact, Hirono wasn’t signing any tune at all, as she remained silent throughout the scandal and most certainly declined to offer any support or an automatic belief to Inouye’s accusers. She also failed to speak up in support of any of former President Clinton’s several credible accusers just a few years later.
During the 1992 election, a Republican campaign worker recorded the testimonial of Inouye’s longtime hairdresser, Lenore Kwock, who alleged that Inouye forcibly raped her in 1975 and repeatedly groped her on several occasions after the incident. Kwock’s allegation was largely ignored by Senator Hirono who now wants to play GOD…BY DECIDING THAT ANYONE WITH RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS ARE UNFIT TO SERVE?
How any Christian could be a Democrat is beyond me.
Couldn’t agree with you more. They are liars, deceiver, back-stabbers and traitors, in fact lower than shark dung lying on the bottom of the ocean. Just watch them being totally okay with a Muslim becoming a judge. They are now so debased and degenerate that it is almost inconceivable that they have sunk so low – with Chuck Schumer exemplifying the contemptible depths to which they have sunk. This man is such a liar that I almost marvel at his gall as he spouts the rubbish he does in the Senate. No wonder Jews like David Horowitz can have nothing but contempt for a Jews like this piece of dung.
Or how they can be Americans.
Sorry, none of them should be in office or hold any position higher than a sniffing shot nose! Every last one of them, us, anyone living and breathing (with a brain) have our own thoughts and beliefs! Oops, Im sorry that does qualify a liberal (Democrat), they have not real thought of their own that are not true to anything they say the believe in and could give a shit about anyone but them!
Really though, the democrats believe anyone who disagrees with them is “not qualified” to be a judge. Their new requirements for “impartiality” simply mean that a judge must be partial to their agenda. It’s so in-your-face engineered it would be funny if it weren’t so frightening. The fact that this transparent & childish logic is being pushed more & more by the Left shows that they aren’t even trying to hide their blatant dishonesty anymore. It’s just their way or the highway, period.
They may as well declare themselves dictators now. Why pretend to negotiate anymore?
What has happened to the once moderate, fair minded, logical and congenial Democratic party? What happened to the offspring of the soldiers who saved the world from communism, rebuilt Europe and when they came back to America knelt down and kissed the tarmac? It’s as if a whole half a country has been possessed with hate for America and a rush to anger . A bullying, boycotting, politically correct army of easily offended left wing snowflakes.
Bottom line. There shall be no religious tests for any position in government
One day these low life pond scrum Democrats will stand before the Lord our God and be judged . How long they will be condemned to purgatory only God knows but some will serve in He’ll forever . Pelosi , Waters , Feinstein , Wasserman-Schultz and Chuck the Schmuck Shumer hopefully will never foul Heavens or
They need to MOVE to the “middle east” to worship their SATAN god “muhammad”, they are certainly NOT needed or wanted HERE….
We need to bar Liberals from office for lack of common sense! But anymore everyone has lost it! A thing of the past!
So we should bar everyone from office?
Our government, on both sides of the isle has become corrupt and unable to legislate in the interest of American citizens. Filled with too many swamp dwellers. Career politicians who either stay too long and become counterproductive, or just occupy an office till they latch on to a lobbying job or Some corporation hires them to use their name, both of which pay big bucks. The only thing that will save us is an Article Five Convention of the States. A reassessment of the problems and a move back into the system that was illustrated in the constitution. The big ponderous Central Government would be dissolved and the states would take back their rights and privileges to make laws in their own states. There is a movement afloat to do just that but it takes time to sign up all the state. There is also a movement for term limits and Oh how we need that!. However our behemoth government is so slow and ponderous we will not see it in our times
These democrats have now decided that they can stop someone that Trump has nominated for a judgeship based on his religious beliefs. Then maybe if these democrats are catholic then they should resign from their jobs because they might make decisions based on their religion. Democrats need to grow up and stop playing these children games.
Especially pelosi, she is a BORN Italian, deeply CATHOLIC there…..Just weird how they created the MAFIA there, then brought it to America….MAFIA = nothing but CRIMINALS, and pelosi is the proverbial MUSSOLINI Re-incarnation on top of THAT….
