This is the same process as always, there is nothing different about it.
When the senate installs a justice to decide issues of law they want to know how that person interprets the laws they write.
The senate will not (I hope) install a justice that decides cases of law in a way that will be outside of what the senates laws set out to do in the first place.

Her pro-lifeness is OK, her being a tool to do gods work is another.
We do not want or need the state deciding for us what faith or morals we should live by. Women don't want or need the state to decide for them if they should have an abortion.
People should be free to live their lives as they choose.
