From today’s Washington Post:
A planning document for Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans says the nominee will be counseled to avoid disclosing “personal political views or legal thinking on any issue” in an effort to put a focus on qualifications rather than specific issues, including same-sex marriage and the government’s treatment of suspected terrorists.
Democrats signaled that whoever the nominee is, their three likely lines of attack will be to assert the White House did not consult them sufficiently, then paint the nominee as ideologically extreme and finally assert that the Senate had not received sufficient documents about the candidate. But Senate Democratic aides said they will focus for now on bipartisan consultation and not publicly prejudge the nominee.
