A catholic court?

Not that this suddenly makes me 100% warm and fuzzy about Sotomayor, but an interesting piece of trivia is that when Sotomayor is confirmed (it seems she will be with little real resistance) the USA will have a "Catholic Court". 6/9 judges on the highest judicial bench will be Catholics.

More just sharing the Trivia here, since we Catholics don't typically vote in a Christian block like the Evangelical faiths which dominate this nation. I guess it does give me some hope that at the very the court will be less an easy tool for pro-choice extremists to use in the promotion of a support having abortions at all costs, which is cool for me personally.

Anyway, I'm still hoping the Senate takes a real close look at her, even though I know she'll probably just be ushered through the process. There just seems to be no extraneous information which would explain how her New Haven decision is justifiable in what should now be a post-race era, you know an era in our history when it is utterly clear that by and large race is a non-issue to us Americans. One would think that the best way to advance racial equality would be to stop bringing it to the forefront by making the playing field favor minorities in this way.

On the other hand, despite being a liberal leaning judge she did side with the Bush administration policy to not provide funds to international groups providing abortion services when a pro-choice group tried sueing the federal government for "discrimination". I just want to be sure this Judge can in fact ALWAYS be fair no matter what context in which "discrimination" is being challenge. That is, always rule against discrimination in whatever form it comes. New Haven for me is just that painful thorn in your side preventing me from being just totally fine with this judge.

But hey, at the very least Catholics will rule on sector of government lol ;)
