Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, Trump’s replacement for
fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions, thinks that if you’re not
Christian, you shouldn’t be a federal judge. Judges should be “people of
faith” and need to have a “biblical view of justice,“ and Whitaker
would like to see a person’s “world view,” because if they have a
secular world view, he’d be “very concerned with how they judge.”
Whitaker revealed his ignorance with these remarks during a 2014
conservative forum while vying for the Republican US Senate nomination
in Iowa.
The takeaway from this: According to the acting Attorney General of the United States, if you’re open-minded, don’t be a judge.
