BRACK: Taking a look at the religion of Supreme Court members

BRACK: Taking a look at the religion of Supreme Court members

By Elliott Brack   |  When writing about diversity on the Supreme Court in the most previous issue, we failed to address one topic: the religion of the U.S. Justices.

Six of the court members are Catholic: John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.  Two are Jewish: Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan. Neil Gorsuch was raised a Catholic, but now attends an Episcopal church in Colorado.

Norman Rockwell’s depiction of "Freedom from Fear."

BRACK: Freedom from fear is one of our basic rights in the USA

By Elliott Braci  | It was the way that President Trump went about trying to deport people that bugged me.  He made several announcements and pronouncements well in advance that on a certain Sunday there would be raids to “send ‘em back” to their home country.

This caused great fear among people, many of them working steadily for their citizenship, fearful that they somehow would be caught up in this rush to judgment, and be deported.
