What a dissertation, by a self-described Messianic Jew at Pat Robertson’s Regent University, looks like. It aims to prove that throughout the history of the U.S. Supreme Court, justices have ruled according to their official religious labels. From the book review:

Sekulow’s reliance on Waite’s faith to prove that Waite was influenced by religion here comes uncomfortably close to the old saw about the rabbi who proposes to prove from a biblical source that Abraham wore a yarmulke: “The Torah tells us that ’Abraham set forth.’ And would our forefather Abraham have set forth without a yarmulke?”

Preposting update: I’m not sure whether Sekulow’s or Mojecki’s individual creepiness is worse, but I sure hope that’s not the denomination Mrs. Batard is dragging Buck to this weekend! (Yes, they want a year of birth and zip code.)
