<p>WASHINGTON — Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham reminded President Joe Biden&#8217;s Supreme Court nominee Tuesday of the anti-Catholic line of questioning that Justice Amy Coney Barrett was subjected to during her confirmation hearings.</p>
<p>Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein sparked ongoing backlash when she told Barrett: &#8220;The dogma lives loudly within you, and that&#8217;s of concern.&#8221;</p>
<p>During her confirmation hearings, media, Democrats, and activists <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/26/amy-coney-barrett-supreme-court-attacks-democrats-media/">portrayed</a> Justice Amy Coney Barrett as an “extremist” Catholic radical determined to overturn <em>Roe v. Wade</em> and take a knife to the Affordable Care Act, even suggesting that Barrett adopted her children for nefarious reasons.</p>
<p>Barrett’s Catholicism made her unfit to serve as a judge, Democrats and activists suggested, and media disingenuously <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/22/media-catholic-people-of-praise-amy-coney-barrett-handmaids-tale/">highlighted</a> Barrett’s reported connections to the Catholic group People of Praise, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/23/reuters-amy-coney-barrett-handmaids-tale-people-of-praise/">falsely reporting</a> that the group was the inspiration for Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.”</p>
<p>Graham referenced this treatment on Tuesday morning as Jackson took questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee.</p>

I would if I were you.&quot; </p>

<p>&#8220;What faith are you by the way? Could you fairly judge a Catholic,&#8221; he questioned a visibly surprised Jackson, who said that she is protestant and non-denominational. &#8220;How important is your faith to you?&#8221;</p>
<p>Jackson responded that her faith is very important to her, reminding Graham that &#8220;there is no religious test in the Constitution.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There will be none with me,&#8221; he responded.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very important to set aside ones personal views about things in the role of a judge,&#8221; Jackson said.</p>
<p>&#8220;On a scale of 1-10, how faithful would you say you are,&#8221; pursued Graham. &#8220;I go to church probably three times a year, so that speaks poorly of me. Do you attend church regularly?&#8221;</p>
<p>Jackson said that she was reluctant to discuss her faith &#8220;in this way&#8221; because she wants to be mindful for the need for the public &#8220;to have confidence in my ability to separate out my personal views.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;How would you feel if a senator up here said [of] your faith, &#8216;The dogma lives loudly within you and that&#8217;s of concern,'&#8221; Graham asked. &#8220;How would you feel if someone up here on our side said &#8216;you attend church too much for me&#8217; or &#8216;your faith is a little bit different to me,&#8217; and they would suggest it would effect your decision.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Would you find that offensive? I would if I were you,&#8221; said Graham. &#8220;I found it offensive when they said it about Judge Barrett.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Linsey Graham: &quot;I just hope going in the future that we all can accept [people&#39;s faith] and that Judge Barrett, I thought, was treated very, very poorly, so I just wanted to get that out.&quot; (3/3) <a href="https://t.co/7IlBrZQZta">pic.twitter.com/7IlBrZQZta</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) <a href="https://twitter.com/CurtisHouck/status/1506284527286730760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 22, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Graham added that he did not think Jackson would have any problem adjudicating cases that dealt with religions that were not her own.</p>
<p>During Barrett’s confirmation hearings in 2020, Feinstein avoided discussing Barrett’s faith, but a hot mic picked up the California senator discussing Barrett’s religious beliefs privately, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/15/dianne-feinstein-amy-coney-barrett-religion-pro-life/">saying</a>, “She’s been pro-life for a long time. So I suspect with her, it is deeply personal and comes with her religion.”</p>
