What, if anything, does the pro-same-sex marriage vote in a Catholic country like Ireland mean for the votes of the five Catholic Supreme Court justices in the US?

Theoretically, the Supreme Court makes judgments based on the law, and not on their personal religious views. Theoretically.

But we all know that isn’t strictly true, especially on a contentious issue which has religious overtones, like same-sex marriage and abortion and stem sell research.

Now Ireland – a largely Catholic republic – has apparently given a strong thumbs up to legalizing same-sex marriage.

Will this have any effect on Catholic members of the Supreme Court?

(My guess is NO, but you can never tell)
