I’m struggling to understand the plan here. Nominate a far-right anti-abortion judge with little cross over appeal and then assume that Democrats will... attack her faith? So that people, who mostly won’t be watching the hearings, forget about the... pandemic they’re living with?
I’m admittedly partisan so I have my biases, but you have to wear a mask everywhere you go. Job loss isn’t something you forget when you turn on the TV and watch the hearings (even “only” 20 mil watched Ford’s testimony for Kavanaugh, there’s no guarantee that’ll happen here)
I also fully cannot believe they’re not nominating Lagoa??????? Like, own the libs I guess but Lagoa would have been an infinitely smarter choice electorally! And less of a chance for a future court expansion.
You’re telling me you have the chance to nominate a Cuban-American Latina whose parents escaped Cuba and would maybe appeal to moderates and a key demo in FL, and instead you’re nominating the abortion lady who wrote a white paper saying Roberts was wrong about upholding the ACA?
She was Elian Gonzalez’s lawyer!!!
