My Democrat friend knows how I feel about religion seeing as how we are both Agnostic but I can't make him understand why I support the nomination of Barrett. He insists that she will bring her Catholic beliefs to her position. Gee, where have I heard that before? JFK anybody? Did the Left worry about Ginsburg bringing her Jewish beliefs to the highest court?

I'd say there are fewer self imposed constraints on leftist judges
the nature of being a conservative allows for the constitution to be a shield and sword for us all
whims of leftists don't afford one the luxury of being secure in the law
in regard to acb and being a practicing catholic, the left fears a proper constitutional application much more than her religion, though as a conservative she is in many ways held to the stasis of prior court decisions. the left would fear any conservative justice nominee, but certainly they do detest the religious.
and many irreligious people have pointed out the absurdity of the constitutional right to an abortion.
your friends fear is misplaced
