Being Catholic, doesn't mean you cannot objectively evaluate the constitutionality of a case.

Look at her quote I posted, she specifically said that judges cannot try to force the US Constitution to try and fit nicely into Catholicism.
She wrote a paper about it, questions are fair game. Those questions were from Ted Cruze by the way. Doesn't seem like anyone cared if Republicans brought up her religion.
