She is certainly not a practicing Catholic.  It should be added her husband's father was very active in planned parenthood.

It's rather amusing they call her a "billionaire" - she's a billionaire's wife.

Washington State is a community property State.  So she legally owns half of the household estate.  The exception would concern property held separately before the marriage if there is a pre-nuptual agreement.  All of this, of course, is moot if they no longer claim Washington State as their legal residence.

I'm pretty sure she's a billionaire as well.

Just being a typical American Catholic. Probably one of the 50% that voted Obama. OK, I admit, I was fooled into voting for Obama, too... Sorry. I even sent $20 to his campaign, first time I've ever made a political contribution. My God, how did he do it??
