Is it possible to be bigoted against bigots? She is a hardline catholic and from her history and quotes it is clear that she will have a hard time leaving out her catholic values from rulings that are supposed to be as impartial as possible.

Her views on sexuality and abortion are telling enough. She won't advocate for human rights, because her Christian values trump human rights.

And between me and you, that's a pretty bad thing for a person with such immense power to decide over human lives.

Is being catholic = being a bigot? No judge is "neutral", bet they still all have to interpret the law, whatever their background.

No, being a bigot is being a bigot. Also being an asshole is being an asshole. She ticks both of those boxes. No judge is neutral, but being religious as opposed to irreligious is already a giant red flag.

I'd rather have judges who base their opinions on evidence than faith.
