On 'Fox News @ Night,' panel debates the potential Supreme Court pick's popularity with religious conservatives.
A media campaign has erupted against Amy Coney Barrett, even though President Trump hasn’t actually nominated her to the Supreme Court.
Barrett is clearly the front-runner, having spent a second straight day at the White House as the president moves toward his Saturday announcement. And of course there should be substantial scrutiny of her record if she’s picked, given that replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a lifetime appointment.
But there are early signs this is going to be ugly, and that her religion will be front and center. That subject came up in 2017 when the Senate approved her as a federal appeals court judge in Chicago.
Newsweek jumped on the judge with a smear that turned out to be factually wrong.
Barrett is a devout Catholic, and the magazine described her (as previous profiles have) as a member of People of Praise, “the charismatic Christian parachurch organization, which was founded in South Bend, Indiana in 1971, teaches that men have authority over their wives. Members swear a lifelong oath of loyalty to one another and are expected to donate at least 5 percent of their earnings to the group.”
So she should be disqualified because of her religious affiliation? Isn’t that the essence of anti-Catholic prejudice?

No matter who she is the press will do what they can to destroy her. They work hand in hand with felons like Avenatti... (Oh,and she RAN the rape rooms... whoever 'she' is)...
The corrupt press has already bought it... Democrat War rooms will do the things the 'ethical pre' won't do - but THE PRESS WILL TAKE THAT MATERIAL AND RUN WITH IT...
... She has explicitly stated faith comes before the law as a judge. That’s not what we need on our courts...
So you think she should just abide by Roe v Wade which is the ‘law’, and not use her ‘faith’ as a Catholic to possibly change the law?
She was already in a committee hearing very recently.
You are right-—skip the theatrics & go straight to vote.
Besides——all of Congress wants to go home & campaign...what would prevent them from dragging this out for months?
Schumer \is already calling for no more than 2 hours a day of school.
“She has explicitly stated faith comes before the law as a judge.”
In recent days they have been playing a video clip of her saying the EXACT OPPOSITE.
Specifically, Amy Coney Barrett said that she would “never impose my own personal convictions upon the law.”
