|
|
|
"The notion that Judge [Samuel] Alito should be considered unfit for membership on the Supreme Court simply because he is a Catholic (or because he is one Catholic too many) is profoundly in conflict with the letter and the spirit of the Constitution." Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson said in a Nov. 8, 2005, letter to U.S. Senators. "To reject his nomination on these grounds would be to impose a religious test for public office." |
