Nothing will piss off Evangelical & non-Evangelical Protestants more than them being excluded from SCOTUS.


Are Republicans practicing the Republican Party's version of REPLACEMENT THEORY.

While GOPers suck up to Protestants, they want to maintain their purge from SCOTUS.

There are six Catholics, two Jewish and one Angelican/Catholic Justice. No full Protestants.

While the Angelican Church is considered a 'Protestant' religion, it is the closest to the Roman Catholic Church, with several sub-sects. Justice Gorsuch is Anglo-Catholic and his faith almost aligns with the Catholic Church, so he really isn't Protestant.

With Protestants comprising 42% of the United State's demographics, it's surprising that the last Protestant was purged out around 2005 and there hasn't been another one on the SCOTUS court since. Why is that?

Did Protestants acquiesce to the Catholic Church?

different than the U.S.

Conservative ideology sweeps across a wider section of our society than the various major religious cults. We have conservative poor, rich, educated, uneducated, gay, straight, Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, etc., as well as liberals across the very same cross-sections of our society.

In the U.S., I'd say political ideology trumps cult membership when it comes to voting.

Does that makes sense to you?
