Right, but the personal attacks on her reflect anti-religious bigotry. Obama's nominees did not face these kinds of attacks and were approved by huge numbers in both parties.
no they, don't. it's not anti-religious bigotry to not want to live in a theocracy where her religious views will be imposed on me. i don't want to live under Sharia law either. a religious extremist of any kind is not a good choice for SCOTUS.

Right now it looks like republicans will try to confirm before the election on Nov. 3. Certainly no guarantee they will get it done by then, but it’s enough of a possibility to make it a clear election issue.
Nah, it's happening during the lame duck. They're just going to try and run on th Court and Democratic "obstruction". But it's a double edged sword. If everyone knows that they ar doing it during the lame duck then it doesn't matter who wins the election. People can safely vote against Trump's incompetence and not have to worry about the seat.

I’ve thought about this before, but the fight would just shift to the states. Abortion would be illegal in a handful of very conservative states.

Were they associated with splinter sects championing zealotry?
Also, Mitch doesn’t GAF about abortion. Amy is a shill for corporatists. It’s all about money money money.

Correct. But the ACA might be gone anyway because if there’s a 4-4 tie the lower court’s ruling to kill it stands.

This is funny- yes, be careful to hide your anti Catholic bigotry. You are so subtle, we Catholics have no idea! No clue!
It’s not that she’s a practicing Catholic, it’s just her inexperience!
Remind which party’s nominee is a practicing catholic?
Lmao - most Catholics prefer a non- Catholic to a willful apostate like Joe Biden. Maybe be can intern at the local abortion clinic after he loses the race.
Only 11% of US Catholics subscribe to the church’s view on abortion (illegal under all circumstances). If republicans want to spend the next month calling the other 89% of us apostates, have it at it.
+1
I’ll go you one better, PP. Trump didn’t actually win the Catholic vote.

Ugh, fck your both sides bullcrap. Biden, both Clinton’s, Obama, Carter - how have you been oppressed by their religious beliefs? How were you oppressed by RBG’s Judaism?

Agreed. Religion is a political football. We need a person who doesn't have a religion that the press or dcum will make an issue out of
How about a Muslim or a hindu
