In a tense exchange, the Democratic senator questioned whether the judicial nominee could separate her Catholic views from her legal opinions. "And that's of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for years in this county." “The pattern and practice of bigotry from members of this committee must stop,” he said, adding, “And I would expect that it be renounced." Other Republicans, Sen. John Cornyn and Sen. Ben Sasse, have talked about religion. But Democrats like Sen. Chris Coons have said that they will concentrate not on religious liberty but on what she has written.
