WASHINGTON, DC – Culture of Life Foundation President Austin Ruse said today that, "Once more Sen. Durbin has crossed the line of propriety, both moral and Constitutional. He has asked Judge Alito the impact Jude Alito's religious convictions will have on his jurisprudence. This is a clear violation of a religious test being imposed by the supposedly Catholic Sen. Durbin. It seems that this question is only ever leveled at Catholics. Sen. Durbin should cease and desist immediately."
