Secularism Lives Loudly Within Biden

Joe Biden has said that he will only appoint "Living" constitutionalists to the courts.

Biden calls Trump an enemy of democracy, but what could be less democratic than Biden's view of the courts? He seeks to achieve through them what he can't accomplish legislatively.

Biden has opposed Trump's judges not for their lack of legal credentials but for an originalism that impedes the Democratic Party's ideological whims.

Biden favors an overtly politicized judiciary, a view that he summed up at the beginning of the Robert Bork hearings: "Will we retreat from our tradition of progress or will we move forward, continuing to expand and envelop the rights of individuals in a changing world which is bound to have an impact upon those individuals' sense of who they are and what they can do?".

Biden fancies himself a legal scholar, but his old professors from Syracuse law school would probably disagree.

We can expect Biden to pull the same demagogic tricks while commenting upon the upcoming Supreme Court nomination fight.

In Biden and Harris, the most anti-Catholic ticket ever, secularist dogmas live loudly.
