Religious test for nominations?

Wrong on all three counts. The Supreme Courts have said so.

That means nothing, the SC is just as corrupt and violates its constitutional oath as well.

Then why haven't any of them been impeached? The Constitution does allow that.

By the crooks that nominated them and rely on them to justify their unconstitutional rulings?

However crooked they might be, you're stuck with them unless you have evidence of impeachable crimes.

Only thing I care about is whether or not the guy is qualified for the position.

I couldn't care less about his religious beliefs.

Really? So if he attended a Christian Identity Church you'd have no problem? If he attended a church when the preacher screamed, "God Damn America," you'd have no problem? I don't think there should be a litmus test that would prevent a Muslim or a Jew from being a judge but there are elements of religion that could effect their suitability as a judge. I can remember some questioning John Kennedy's fitness because he was a Catholic.

No. As long as he doesn't let his religous beliefs interfere with his job, I couldn't really give a damn what he believes in.
