Stone, the Bigot

So here it is, stark anti-Catholic bigotry from Professor Geoffrey R. Stone at the University of Chicago Law School (an earlier post on Stone here.) on the Supreme Court's partial birth abortion decision. And he has been noted routinely making anti-Catholic remarks in his class.

Via RedState. Fellow U of C law professor Rick Garnett. Jan Crawford Greenburg. Patterico:
Such serious accusations should be backed by solid evidence. For example, if someone were to accuse Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke of making decisions about interest rates because he is a Jew, I would hope that person would be dismissed as a crank and a bigot, unless he had smoking-gun type evidence to back such a wild allegation. Accusations directed at Catholics should be no different.

Such accusations are especially serious when levelled at judges, who have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution. Prof. Stone is accusing the Justices of violating their oath.

So what does Prof. Stone offer as his evidence of this grave accusation? Virtually nothing.
