Former Dem. Senator Warns Party Against Attacking Amy Coney Barrett’s Catholic Faith

September 28, 2020 By The Editors

At The Blaze, Chris Enloe reports on Sen. Joe Lieberman’s defense of Amy Coney Barrett’s right to practice her faith as she believes. He writes:

Former Democratic-turned-Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman is warning his former Democratic colleagues against further attacks on Amy Coney Barrett’s devout Catholic faith.

Those attacks, Lieberman warned Friday, may backfire.

What is the background?

Amy Coney Barrett rose to national prominence in 2017 after she was confirmed to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. During her confirmation process, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) infamously launched a broadside against Barrett’s faith.

“When you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you — and that’s of concern,” Feinstein said, referring to Barrett’s Catholic faith.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) also questioned Barrett what it meant to be an “Orthodox Catholic.” Of course, the concern of Democratic lawmakers at the time was that Barrett may be placed in a position to someday help restrict abortion rights — or perhaps even overturn Roe v. Wade.

What did Lieberman say?

Speaking on Fox News, the former Connecticut senator — who was a Democrat for the majority of his political career until he left the party in 2006 — predicted that if Democrats focus on Barrett’s faith, “it will hurt her opponents.”

Lieberman, who is an observant Jew, explained that, in his experience, religious piety deeply resonates with Americans.

“I found that the fact that I was religious and observant was actually a tie, a bond [with] people of other religions who were similarly observant,” Lieberman said.

“You can disagree with somebody based on whether they’re pro-life or pro-choice, but when you start to say that you’re against them because their religion, in this case, their Roman Catholicism determines their point of view, you’re doing something really abhorrent that I think is bigoted, is un-American, and incidentally, is unconstitutional,” he added.
