(Alito would make the 4th ultra-conservative Roman Catholic on the SCOTUS bench; the 5th Roman Catholic would be the "swing" vote of Justice Anthony Kennedy who is also conservative but as SCOTUS has drifted to the right, Kennedy appears moderate on occasion.)



"natural law" (derived from religion) u/ guise of "traditional" "cultural" conservative Roman Catholic jurists fills the agenda
