After Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg died last month, with less than two months before Election Day, Trump nominated Coney Barrett to replace her on the bench.The proceedings have been contentious. After Antonin Scalia died in 2015, Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell refused to hold a vote or hold confirmation hearings after President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to the seat more than a year before the election. Their decision to move forward with this nomination has provoked charges of hypocrisy.\nIn addition, Coney Barrett\u2019s relationship with her Catholic-Charismatic community, People of Praise, has drawn scrutiny as critics have asked what type of authority this group might have over her judicial decisions.\nGiven Coney Barrett\u2019s rise, this week on\xa0Quick to Listen, we wanted to talk about the state of Christian legal world with Kim Colby, who has worked for Christian Legal Society\u2019s Center for Law and Religious Freedom since graduating from Harvard Law School in 1981. Colby has represented religious groups in several appellate cases, including two cases heard by the United States Supreme Court. She has filed numerous amicus briefs in federal and state courts. She was also involved in the congressional passage of the Equal Access Act in 1984.\nColby joined global media manager Morgan Lee and editorial director Ted Olsen to discuss what she makes of Coney Barrett\u2019s participation in her intentional Christian community, what it\u2019s like being a woman in the Christian legal community, and what unites and divides Catholics and Protestants together in this world.\nWhat is Quick to Listen?
