      1. It's worth asking why Protestant America can't seem to produce top-notch jurists.https://twitter.com/FranklinFoer/status/710108834841403392 …

      2. Evangelical Protestants are a big part of the base of one party, yet Republicans keep nominating Catholic jurists. Why?

      3. Part of the answer is Catholic jurists like Scalia, Thomas, Alito presumably seen as more reliable on abortion.

      6. But more broadly, evangelicals exist in conservative movement as foot soldiers while high positions go to other groups.

      7. This seems pertinent. Related to broader anti-intellectualism of evangelical culture:https://twitter.com/eaton/status/710112495348744193 …

      @HeerJeet At least in my experience, the Evangelical world has always been soft on scholarship, more focused on "missional" activities

      8. Evangelical Christianity defines itself as a religion of the heart, not the head. That's a factorhttps://twitter.com/doctorscience/status/710113632491868160 …

      @HeerJeet See Mark Noll's "Scandal of Evangelical Mind" - Evangelicals are discouraged from intellectual rigor. No pipeline.

          @HeerJeet Another possible factor: people (rightly) fear evangelical theocracy. Catholic judges less of a threat in this regard.

          @HeerJeet Hold on. We just shifted from protestants to evangelicals. The Venn here isn't a single circle.

          9. So: it's easy to figure out why evangelicals aren't on court. Mystery is mainstream protestants, who aren't anti-intellectual, etc.
