WTF is a CNN?
The MSM cannot praise Biden as a devout Catholic whose beliefs are "baked into the core functions of the campaign," and then try to attack and disqualify Judge Barrett over the same claims.
From just two days ago...
September 20, 2020: NPR: How Joe Biden's Faith Shapes His Politics
When Joe Biden seeks to inspire or comfort, he turns to his faith. His speeches are woven with references to God, biblical language or the pope...If elected, Biden would become only the second Catholic president in American history. It's not a detail he highlights, but people who know him well say his Catholic faith is central to how he sees the world...
Biden, who carries a rosary in his pocket and attends Mass every Sunday, is known as a deeply devout person of faith, and his campaign sees electoral implications in that in part because Biden has tried to frame this election as a clear moral contrast between Trump and himself.
Some Democrats would go so far as to say that Biden is running perhaps the most overtly devout Democratic presidential campaign since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
From July 17, 2020: Associate Press via the New York Daily News - Bidens bid touts faith, courts even religious conservatives:
President Donald Trumps appeal to religious conservatives is a cornerstone of his political identity. But Joe Biden is a different kind of foe than Trump has faced before: one who makes faith a central part of his persona often literally wearing it on his sleeve.In fact, Biden's practice of carrying a rosary that belonged to his late son Beau caught the attention of one of his Democratic presidential rivals when the two were awaiting a debate last year...
Biden's identity as "a very devout Catholic and person of deep faith," deputy political director John McCarthy said, is "baked into the core messaging and core functions of the campaign."

Why have hearings? The 45 Democrats, 2 “independents”, and Collins + Murkowski have announced their votes.
What is the purpose of a hearing? The “no” votes rea locked in and cannot be changed by anything that would transpire at a hearing.
Because that’s the process of advice and consent since the time of Washington.
