Needing The Support Of Catholic Women, Democrats Are Careful With Amy Coney Barrett
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have looked ways to challenge Barrett's conservative views without alienating her Catholic supporters.
In Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump put forward a Supreme Court nominee who embodies a set of voters the Democrats need on their side to win elections. She's a well-educated, White, suburban Catholic woman.
Many Democrats object to her well documented conservative views in such areas as abortion, health care, guns, and immigrant rights, but they must tread carefully in opposing her nomination so as not to alienate those voters, especially women, who may be inspired by Barrett's life story.
