Wanted: A Non-Monotheist on the Bench

Scalia was dead: to begin with.

There is no doubt whatever about that.

Left sitting: a Supreme Court made up of five Catholics and three Jews.

The lack of religious diversity in the nation's highest court is disgraceful.

Deists aside, there has never yet been a Supreme Court justice from a non-Abrahamic tradition.

There has never yet been a Hindu on the bench. Or a Buddhist. Much less a Pagan.

Well, maybe it's time that there was.

Come on, President Obama: among the ranks of the qualified, there must be some non-Abrahamic candidates available. Think of it as affirmative action.

 

You can do this.

You should do this.

Yes you can.

Poet, scholar and storyteller Steven Posch was raised in the hardwood forests of western Pennsylvania by white-tailed deer. (That's the story, anyway.) He emigrated to Paganistan in 1979 and by sheer dint of personality has become one of Lake Country's foremost men-in-black. He is current keeper of the Minnesota Ooser.
