Actually Barrett has frequently inserted her religion into her legal writings. Combine that with her loose opinion on precedence and her religion is absolutely fair game in a confirmation hearing.

Nominating her, would be a marvelous middle finger to these people.

Because that's what the Supreme Court is really about Jim?

Barrett is also the poster child for a judge who the left would fear would overturn Roe V Wade - a Catholic with seven kids. Whether or not she would actually vote that way is unknown (probably not), but she looks exactly like someone who would, and that will be enough to open the floodgates of liberal hysteria.

It's pretty amusing that the same people who clammor about liberals legislating from the bench are working tirelessly to socially engineer the SCOTUS for partisan reasons. No hypocrisy here...
I don't think you'd have Robert's vote either. Likely several conservative justices wouldn't go for it.
