Last night, Bill Maher came unglued with a attack on Judge Barrett, objecting that she is "really, really Catholic -- like speaking in tongues." The raving assault (which even bizarrely tied in Stormy Daniels) shows the triumph of rage over reason. https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/517756-judge-amy-coney-barrett-for-her-intellect-instead-of-catholic-faith
......when Ginsburg (a devout Jew) was nominated Feinstein did not object that "The dogma lives loudly in you" and commentators like Maher did not portray her as a barking religious fanatic or question whether she approves of condoms...
......Imagine if a conservative commentator responded to President Obama's nomination of Kagan or Sotomayor by referring to sex with a stripper or referring to Kagan a "really, really Jewish." To paraphrase Sen. Feinstein, "[Prejudice] lives loudly in you."
