This is the truth I heard in this exchange: She agrees with their extreme views on LGBT issues.

She is a terrible person blinded by religious fanaticism. Religion does one of two things to people. It makes some people want to bring love and kindness into the world. It makes other people bring hate, hurt, and harshness into the world.

Don’t go in all guns blazing but have Trump investigated. When (yet more) wrong doing is inevitably exposed, bam, there’s your justification for not letting a potential criminal decide the future of the judiciary. You could really go to town on this one, not just with the Supreme Court.

Another way would be to really play on the fact that a solid majority want the winner of the Presidential election to choose the next justice. If Biden sows the seeds and waters them correctly, it might be more or less expected that he expands if the GOP ran Crony-Barrett through.
