As much as I hate to disagree with my host, I think I have to side with Professor Bainbridge on this one. As I explained some time ago in posts on the nomination of William Pryor, here and here, I think it is fair to say that at least some Democratic Senators -- and some outside interest groups -- have taken the position that an individual who accepts the Catholic Church's teaching on abortion, and who therefore believes that abortion is murder, is unfit for the federal bench. While I would not call this anti-Catholic bigotry, it is quite anti-Catholic in effect. Larry Solum also had some thoughts on the matter here.
