I believe this is a good reason too.
Honestly, she's just an awful judge.

Hypocritical scumbags all of them.

It would probably be wiser to go after her for that than her odd off-brand version of Catholicism. Let's see if it happens!

Didn't they already go after that before and she became a bit of a conservative martyr because they came after her 'religion'. Even though her religion is "speaking in tongues", she sounds as Catholic as the Satanists, but at least the Satanists are good people.

Yeah, and it's an election year where Biden has built a moderation platform. It's not the time to look like its her religion that's the problem.
Make her hypocrisy and the blatant partisanship of her nomination the problem. There's realistically no way to stop her from getting the seat unless something really wild happens. It's not the fight to be wasting political capital on.
Hell, ask her a hard question, like whether or not she's concerned that her nomination will irrevocably politicize public perception of the Court and if she thinks it's really wise to do that.

I think she already tried to pre-emptively shoot down such questions by saying something along the lines of that she wouldn't serve for her personal beliefs but for all Americans. I assume that will be the line dropped every time going into the hearings, sidestepping the perception question. She is in, its a sure thing.

Ask her if she's really that naive and if she thinks the current hyper partisan political landscape is one where people are going to believe her word when she's already shown her word is worthless.

Ah, but remember that a woman crying is a sign of her emotional helplessness and volatility and a sign that she is unfit to hold positions of power, whereas a man like Date Rape Brett crying over being asked basic questions is a sign of his righteous anger at being interrogated by the mean people trying to get in the way his god-given right to hold possibly the most powerful position in the entire american justice system (well, underneath police who can execute people at will). /sarcasm if it wasn't blatantly obvious that these words are dripping in venom that makes the Box Jellyfish look tame.

So with Trump’s rallies ever shrinking, his campaign running out of money, ratings down, Lindsey begging for money and now the Proud Boys fizzing out...I wonder if these are indications of how the wind is really blowing?
Is it true that the democrats have cleaned house in every election since trump took office? The mid terms, by elections, governors etc?

So with Trump’s rallies ever shrinking, his campaign running out of money, ratings down, Lindsey begging for money and now the Proud Boys fizzing out...I wonder if these are indications of how the wind is really blowing? I'd still be in the camp that there's no way to know how it ends until it ends. That said, it seems to be almost universally considered by pollsters at this point that the election will either be a Biden blow out or a narrow Trump victory. If Biden were to win every state polls list him as leading in, he'd have something like 350 EC votes. But Trump winning is within margin of error for lots of those states, and he could win if a few of them go red. The bizarre things are how Biden winning is in margin of error is some states were Trump leads, which include Georgia, Ohio, and fucking Texas of all places in some polls. Mail in voting is throwing lots of question marks too. We've never had this many people vote by mail nation wide before. Something like 800,000 votes have already been cast in early voting across the US. Last election we'd only have like a couple thousand at this point in time. Who knows how that will play. We've already got Trump ranting and raving about those ballots in PA, and PA is looking like it might be a really close race that takes more than a day to call. Trump's rally's shrinking could just be a side-effect of the pandemic and that even his supporters aren't as crazy as he is.
The money has clearly picked its side but that doesn't translate to victory per se. Clinton also blew Trump out of the water on money - almost 2 to 1 - and she still lost. It would definitely be an exaggeration. The Democrats won big in the states in 2018, but lots of those wins were largely nullified by partisan gerrymandering. Case and point, North Carolina, where Democrats won something like 73% of the vote but only got 1/4 of the seats in the state legislature. They regained the House in Congress by a healthy margin but lost a few seats in the Senate. One could argue that they could have lost more seats in the Senate than they did given the electoral map in 2018, but they still lost seats.

Trump's administration is also looking into ways to strongarm the EC into voting for him and the asshole is on tape saying that if he just 'Throws out the ballots' he'll get to stay in power. Because someone fucking said it around the man-baby and like a toddler he repeats it. The fact he refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power is in of itself a promise of violence. This is going to be very damn messy.
