In a move that might surprise a lot of people, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is defending Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
During an interview on CNN with host Jake Tapper, the California Democrat said she is not interested in seeing Democrats attack the faith of Barrett, who is a fellow Catholic, as she makes her way through the Supreme Court confirmation process.
Pelosi said Barrett's religion should not matter to senators who are considering her for the high court.
Instead, she said the nominee's views on the Constitution should be called into question.
"I think it’s appropriate for people to ask her about how faithful she would be to the Constitution of the United States, whatever her faith. It doesn’t matter what her faith is or what religion she believes in. What matters is, does she believe in the Constitution of the United States?" Pelosi said.
"Does she believe in the precedent on the Supreme Court that has upheld the Affordable Care Act? This is, again, directly related to a major concern of the American people, as it was in 2018. Healthcare, healthcare, healthcare. The three most important issues in this election," Pelosi said.
