#shorts On 11/30/3033, Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana found an article written by Judge Rita F. Lin, “You wrote an article in December of 1998, entitled ‘Person of Faith: Race and Religion as Experiential Knowledge.’ You wrote it in a journal called ‘Perspective,’” Sen. Kennedy said to Lin Wednesday. “And this is what you said, I quote – your words not mine: ‘The problem with the Christian coalition is not that they are bible thumpers (there are personal beliefs that often result from religious experiences) but that they are bigots.’”

“I believe you did,” Lin responded.
“Did you write that?” Kennedy then asked.
“I did write that when I was 20-years-old,” she conceded. “I do want to be clear, I do not agree with that today. I wrote that before I went to law school, before I had any kind of professional career.”

But Kennedy questioned her justification, arguing she was in her third year at Harvard at the time it was written. “You were a grown woman when you wrote this,” Kennedy said. “You were a junior at Harvard. So you were three-quarters of the way through your education. Wow.”

“It was 20 years before I became a judge and I do not believe it now,” she said.
