Religious animus
Mario Cuomo wants the Senate Judiciary Committee to ask Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. whether he would ever allow his religious views to trump his oath to support the Constitution (Opinion, Aug. 25). This would be obnoxious even if asked of every Supreme Court nominee, but that no one -- including Cuomo -- ever broached this idea when others were being considered for the high court suggests an animus so vile as to be indecent.
