Senate Approves Barrett Nomination Despite Dem's 'Frightening' Religious Litmus Test
The US Senate has confirmed Amy Coney Barrett of Indiana to be US circuit judge for the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Barrett made headlines during her confirmation hearing when Democratic Sen. Diane Feinstein argued that Barrett's Catholic religious beliefs were too prominent in her life.
Republican senators joined Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ahead of Barrett's confirmation vote in a press conference to say they think Feinstein's comments were unacceptable and unconstitutional.
In September, Feinstein, D-Calif., told Barrett, "When you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you, and that's of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for, for years in this country."
Barrett was then grilled by Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn. and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who asked the nominee how her Catholic faith might influence her decisions as a federal judge.
"Senators Feinstein and Durbin know full well that the Constitution prohibits any religious test for office, yet they proceeded with an offensive grilling of a highly qualified judicial nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, asking inappropriate questions about her Catholic faith," Ferguson said in a statement.
