You’re right, of course. But Kennedy was fighting against a bias in which the only way he could win was by shaming enough bigots into ignoring his religion, holding their noses, and voting for him.

I think the operative line in my post is “On election day, the American people made a conscious choice to elect a Catholic President not because of his religion, but in spite of it.”

During that campaign Kennedy also characterized his faith as “an accident of birth”. Not precisely a call for religious tolerance, eh?

“Catholic bishops threatened to exclude Senator John Kerry from the Eucharist because of his support for Roe v. Wade. The Senate Judiciary Committee is now fully justified in asking these bishops whether the same threats would apply to Supreme Court nominee Judge Roberts, if he were to vote to uphold Roe v. Wade.”

Once again, liberals show that they cannot discriminate a difference between a person whose job it is to _make_ a law, and a person whose job it is to determine if a law has been broken. Kerry’s job in the Senate is to make laws. As president, his job would be to _enforce_ laws made by the Congress. Robert’s job is to judge if a law adheres to the Constitution - not whether or not it’s a good/bad law. JUDGES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE LAWS! There would not be a conflict of interest as long as he judges and doesn’t make laws. Liberals _expect_ judges to make laws - that’s why they have a problem with Roberts….
