    Then we need to amend the Constitution forthwith, to do away with the "no religious test" clause.

        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          "No religious test" means that a law cannot be passed forbidding people from certain faiths, like how a number of states used to (and a few still have on the books) laws prohibiting atheists from holding public offices. It doesn't mean that an individual Senator can't choose whatever factors they want for personal consideration. What if there were a nominee for Secretary of Defense who was a devout Quaker and said that he would never, ever, ever vote to authorize force, and that if you voted against him, it would be a religious test? Clearly his religion would be interfering with his ability to do his job, and so it would be with a Scientologist.

            That's why I said "without commenting on this specific case".

              In other words, it's not the "religious test" alone, as to which denomination or "cult" they belong to, but whether there is probable cause to believe there's some reason to think the person may not be reasonably capable of executing the duties and responsibilities of the office they seek, or to which they are being nominated.

                    Liberals are champions of women... until it's a conservative woman.
                    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                    Than a fool in the eyes of God
