Sotomayor would be the sixth Catholic Justice on the Court.

I think the fact that she's a democrat would be of far more concern to him.

Whether for politics or religion a new paragraph would have been entered into Mormon Doctrine warning against this.

However, six Mormons sitting on the Supreme Court could furnish the requisite conditions to fulfill the prophecy of the Constitution hanging by a thread, which only a white horse can save.

Oh really? He didn't seem too "concerned" by the fact that his brother Oscar ran for Governor in 1940 as a Democrat. And according to this source (and a few others that I have found online), Bruce R. McConkie was a Democrat too: http://www.standard.net/live/opinion/to ... es/147089/
So with that being said, BCSpace, please enlighten us as to how you have arrived to your conclusion.

If he could get away from the mirror, watching the reflection of himself long enough, he might have something to say about that "non-white" "democrat".

Bruce was a racist, like his leaders before him.

Really.

I think he is smart enough to realize that the Democrats by now have abandoned all principles friendly to the gospel.

And according to this source (and a few others that I have found online), Bruce R. McConkie was a Democrat too: http://www.standard.net/live/opinion/to ... es/147089/

See the above. Question:

Would BRM support abortion on demand as a method of birth control? Would he support gay marriage? Does he support feminism? Is he for or against socialism? etc. etc.

socialism - what did Bruce R think about the United Order?

“In order to live the law of consecration, the early saints in this dispensation set up the United Order as the legal organization to receive consecrations, convey stewardships back to donors, and to regulate the storehouses containing surplus properties” ( Mormon Doctrine, p. 813).

He may very well have had a hand in creating Enrichment section L of the D&C Institute manual which expressly denies that the LoC is anything like socialism/communism and that such is contrary to LDS doctrine.

If he did not have a hand in creating it, he would certainly teach LDS doctrine which happens to be as I described.
