Summary
The court's distinctly conservative lean dilutes Republicans' perennial appeal to single-issue conservative voters that one more GOP president or senator means the end of abortion, gun control and barrier-free voting.Surely, the Barrett confirmation hearings that open Monday in the Senate Judiciary Committee will provide plenty of opportunity for both parties, and President Donald Trump, to hurt themselves by overplaying their hands. They have more to fear from a second Trump term and a continued Republican majority than GOP voters have to gain from the same.The potential for loss of enthusiasm among conservative voters explains the tension between Senate Republicans and President Donald Trump on the timing of a final confirmation vote.Trump wants Barrett on the court now.
