Democrats weigh how to handle Trump’s potential Supreme Court pick after past flap over Barrett’s faith – CNNPolitics

On private conference calls in the aftermath of the death last week of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Democrats have had a wide-ranging discussion about their plans and tactics.

Overwhelmingly, they believe they must focus their message on how the new nominee would jeopardize the health care of millions, with the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act before the Supreme Court and persistent court challenges against abortion rights. They also believe they should focus on what they view as a blatant power grab by the GOP to jam a nominee through on the eve of a national election, contradicting the Republican refusal to move on President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee eight months before the 2016 election.

It will be interesting to see if the Dems can keep everyone on board with this more restrained approach or if some will go careening off to the left, questioning Barrett’s faith. If it is Barrett.
