One way to understand the Democratic opposition to the judicial nomination of Brian Buescher over his membership in the Catholic group the Knights of Columbus is as a test run in preventing their worst nightmare: the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Democratic senators Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) targeted Buescher during his confirmation hearing and in written questions late last year, suggesting that his Catholic beliefs would lead him to rule against abortion rights, as well as that his membership in the Knights could be enough to disqualify him from serving as a judge at all. Hirono went so far as to demand that he drop his membership and recuse himself from any case on which the organization has taken a position.....
In raising a similar fuss over Buescher’s nomination, Democrats have revealed the basis of their strategy for what surely will be an all-out campaign to stop Coney Barrett from being seated on the Supreme Court, should President Trump have the chance to make another nomination and should he choose the Seventh Circuit judge.

No, you can only use the abortion test.
I know whomever gets the nod (to replace RBG) will go through a televised root canal. Horrible. Who the heck would want the job?
It is and there is no “right” to an abortion but rats are not big on facts.
The democRATs hate the Constitution. It limits their power.
I predict a DC invasion by AntiFa for the replacement of RBG.
If someone were to appoint a genuinely observant Muslim to the SCOTUS, how would that Justice rule on gay rights and abortion???
Any questions or comments about religion should bring an immediate civil rights law suit.
But a female judge? They will try to destroy an honorable and illustrious female judge? Because she's a Catholic? Because she has children? Because she's female but not a third wave feminist?
2020 is going to be a rough year for the Democrats because payback is a bitch. The game they're playing can't be pushed as far as they think.
"I'll take *People who shouldn't be in congress* for $200 Alex"
That's right !
You question is well posed. They'd slander Jesus Christ himself over their cheap tawdry politics... Oh wait, they already do.
“The democRATs hate the Constitution. It limits their power”.
BINGO!!!
They already did.
