    You'll remember that Democratic senators Kamala Harris (CA) and Mazie Hirono (HI) recently tried to force one of President Trump's judicial nominees to take a religious litmus test. They were particularly alarmed by his membership in the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal organization. In letters to U.S. District Court of Nebraska nominee Brian Buescher, the senators demanded he prove he would judge without bias, citing the KoC's "extreme positions" on abortion and marriage equality.

    Thankfully, at least one of their fellow Democrats called them out for their bigotry. Despite her own opposition to Buescher, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) wrote an op-ed piece noting that the behavior of her colleagues was the real issue and that no nominee should be singled out because of their religion.

    On the heels of Gabbard's editorial, the Senate took the next step and voted to rebuke Harris and Hirono on Wednesday. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) introduced the resolution.

    It reads, in part, "that disqualifying a nominee to federal office on the basis of membership in the Knights of Columbus violates Clause 3 of Article 6 of the Constitution of the United States which establishes that senators ‘shall be bound by oath or affirmation to support this Constitution[; but] no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.'"

    Like Gabbard, Sasse presented the resolution by citing the bigotry President John F. Kennedy endured for his own Catholicism. After the measure passed, the senator said he would be informing Buescher he can ignore Harris's and Hirono's interrogation......snip~

    Slippery slope. To me KofC is legit organization that happens to hold many beliefs that I don't. And therefore not something that an appointee should have to be questioned about .In theory they should only look at a judge's professional record as long as they have no criminal record. Most catholics are anti-abortion but you can't reject all Catholics for federal judgeships.
    But how would this conversation be going if they were say Wickins?
