25. Does Trump realize that 6 of the 9 SCOTUS Justices are Catholic?

And some, fanatically so. It would be ironic if they ruled against him in important cases because they are so offended by this sort of thing.

And how the F could we have gone from the point where the biggest knock against JFK in 1960 was "Can we take the chance of having a Catholic as President?" to now with 2/3 of the highest court being Catholic?

And let's observe that only 20% of the country call themselves Catholics, meaning that more like 5-10% are actually practicing, yet they control the highest court in the land !?
