Not So Stealth Religious Litmus Test

While the Constitution says, "... no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States" (Article 6, end of clause 3) the current debate regarding Judge Robert's nomination to the Supreme Court sure looks like a religious test.

CNSNEWS is generous in calling what is happening a "stealth" attempt. In my opinion it is not so stealth. Sadly those who are opposed to a man of conservative, perhaps even Christian, convictions don't even realize that they are imposing - in the name of irreligion and separation of church and state - religion on the country. Everyone acts out on some worldview and its impossible to not in any instance.

The debate in appointing and confirming a Supreme Court nominee isn't about whether a candidate will bring religion into his opinions but rather which religion. For more on this matter from my keyboard see Never Neutral.
