    As long as the baby hasn't yet been separated from the umbilical cord, it isn't murder. This is basic high school ed stuff. The idea abortion is murder is one of the biggest political fallacies of all time.

    1- You don't show any examples similar to this one.
    2- So... you're convinced that what the poster wrote is a lie.
    3- I am most definitely "biased". But I don't lie or deceive nor in any way am I intellectually dishonest.

    Look at the work Unfit and the context in which Trump spoke it; just another lame attempt by Trump robots to justify everything he says/does.

    What work?

    I am looking at the context, he got a bad ruling, it was during the campaign and when his border security policies were highly discussed.

    Okay, going with that... since federal law allows private citizens to own guns, any appointee to a judgeship who opposes that right is also disqualified? Why would that be any different than someone who opposes abortion?

    If a person has an ideological disagreement with a law that already exists, does that mean that person is not allowed to be a judge? Should we go as far as remove all current judges who hold ideological beliefs in opposition to any law?

    "Honest" is the keyword.

    It's ok to be biased, so long as your bias doesn't make you intellectually dishonest. Problem is people who are biased and dishonest.

    have a link, that would be wrong if she said that, but would need to see a link to it

    sounds like they were asking about his views of Abortion and Same sex marriage, saying that group he was a member of was against them and asking if he would have a bias

    they never said a catholic could not be qualified, as long as one can put the law of the land above their religious law in government, they can have the position

    like Kim Davis, she failed that test, her religion prevented her from doing her job, one that many Christians have no issue doing

    what was her quote, what did she say exactly?

    these are secular laws that they are responsible for, so knowing if they can do the job is important

    biblical law and sharia law have no place in government, that is for ones personal life

    as an example, Palin could never be a SC judge as the bible does not Trump the constitution

    "The Palin Principle – Bible trumps Constitution"

    https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/10/sarah-palin-american-law_n_569922.html

    "Go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant — they’re quite clear — that we would create law based on the God of the bible and the ten commandments." - Palin

    Late term abortion is murder. Eventually it will be considered murder and leftists supporting the practice will be considered to have aided and abetted the murder of babies. It's just a matter of time now.

    The judiciary has no mechanism to create laws. They do not and can not create laws.

    They do not, as they have no ability or mechanism to do so.

    The Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus are mainstream organizations. Liberals often quote the pope when he espouses his socialist views.

    They are not equivalent to the Black Panthers or the KKK. For her to say he’s a member of a radical group is beyond idiotic.

    she was only trying to find out his views on Abortion and same sex marriage, had nothing to do with religion

    personally I think any judge that belongs to a club that is against equal rights should recuse themselves for conflicts of interest on those cases that involve civil rights

    the reality is, both parties only need 50 votes now, so both sides will pick far right and far left judges, gone are the days of moderates

    She highlighted his religion and then voted against him.

    When JFK was running for president, he said he could separate his Catholic faith from governing the nation. Democrats believed him. They should give others the same courtesy.

    Biased judges are ok as long as they are biased towards your world view?

    World view= religion.

    Of course, you realize that the definition of "equal rights" is not the same for everyone? So which set of "equal rights" are we going by?

    As an example, affirmative action hiring would be considered as "equal rights" to some, and would be considered anathema to others. Both positions have their logic.

    that are not ok either way, as when a biased judge sets Precedent in an area to support his or her religion it could have other consequences down the line, a slippery slope

    I agree, in the beginning some did not think women being allowed to vote was equal rights, or inter-racial marriage, the list goes on

    equal rights means were all treated the same under the law regardless of race or gender

    yes, Trump is an affirmative actions hire due to affirmative action for the smaller states, he won with millions less votes due to this

    That’s what she was obsessed with in the hearing.

    You are unable to draw logical conclusions based on overwhelming evidence.
