Cipollone's assistant White House Counsel, Patrick Philbin, is one of the president's lawyers in the impeachment hearings. In December 2001, he offered a memo as Deputy Assistant Attorney General that the federal courts lacked any jurisdiction over the detainees at Guantanamo, permitting them to be tried before military tribunals or not at all. He partially redeemed himself by supporting James Comey when they thwarted an effort to get John Ashcroft to intervene from his hospital bed to authorize warrantless wiretaps. Vice President Dick Cheney reportedly blocked Philbin for a promotion as a consequence of his support for Comey. I could not find anything on his religious affiliation. Nor could I find anything about the religious affiliation of the other lawyers on the president's team.
