Amy Coney Barrett is completely qualified for this position so this will not be an avenue in which Democrats will substantively attack her. They will, however, attack her for her religion. I thought some of these points might be worth knowing. #ACB
She is Catholic, as Antonin Scalia was, and 5 other current Justices.
Clarence Thomas
John Roberts
Samuel Alito
Sonia Sotomayor
Brett Kavanaugh
Neil Gorsuch was raised Catholic, is now Episcopalian. Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan are Jewish, as was Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

33 Supreme Court justices have been Protestant Christians. 14 have been Catholic Christians. 8 have been Jewish.
The youngest person appointed was 21, the oldest was 67. The youngest person appointed who is currently serving is Thomas at 43.

The youngest currently serving is Gorsuch, who is 53 years old. Barrett is 48 years old. There's not many things they can really attack her for, outside of strawmanning her for her religion, or for her constitutional views. Regarding religion, she's by no means unique for SCOTUS.
