Now that it's official – Donald Trump has selected Amy Coney Barrett as his Supreme Court nominee – the confirmation fight begins.
Democrats will have to avoid such unforced errors this time around. As the mother of seven children – including two adopted from Haiti – Barrett will present as a sympathetic figure for many Americans. Democrats have to be careful not to be seen as attacking her for her faith or personal life. It's worth noting that Democratic nominee Joe Biden is a church-going Catholic and one of Barack Obama's two Supreme Court appointees, Sonia Sotomayor, is also Catholic. But the idea that conservatives are under siege by a "mob" of secular, left-wing elites is a powerful motivating force for Republican voters.
