Democrats Don t Want to Get Personal in Debate Over Barrett – The New York Times

For Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the Democratic Party that he now leads, the selection of Judge Amy Coney Barrett by President Trump on Saturday puts a name and a face to the urgent threat they believe a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court poses to decades of progressive laws and protections.

Not that Mr. Biden and the Democrats want to focus on Judge Barrett herself.

Instead, Democrats pressing to slow or stop the advancement of Mr. Trump s pick are determined to frame the debate around the real-world consequences especially on health care, but also on abortion of what would be the biggest ideological swing on the high court since Justice Clarence Thomas replaced Justice Thurgood Marshall a generation ago.
