Barrett on her legal mentors:

I was fortunate to have wonderful legal mentors—in particular, the judges for whom I clerked. The legendary Judge Laurence Silberman of the D.C. Circuit gave me my first job in the law and he continues to teach me today. He was by my side during my Seventh Circuit hearing, he swore me un during my investiture, and he is cheering me on from his living room now.

I also clerked for Justice Scalia, and like many law students, I felt like I knew the justice before I ever met him, because I had read so many of his colorful, accessible opinions. More than the style of his writing, though, it was the content of Justice Scalia’s reasoning that shaped me. His judicial philosophy was straightforward: A judge must apply the law as it is written, not as she wishes it were. Sometimes that approach meant reaching results that he did not like. But as he put it in one of his best known opinions, that is what it means to say that we have a government of laws, not of men.

Justice Scalia taught me more than just law. He was devoted to his family, resolute in his beliefs, and fearless of criticism. And as I embarked on my own legal career, I resolved to maintain that same perspective. There is a tendency in our profession to treat the practice of law as all-consuming, while losing sight of everything else. But that makes for a shallow and unfulfilling life. I worked hard as a lawyer and as a professor; I owed that to my clients, to my students, and to myself. But I never let the law define my identity or crowd out the rest of my life.

1:52 PM: Some technical difficulties trying to get Professor O’Hara. Graham jokes she must be in the “3G part of Indiana.”

1:46 PM: Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) says that Scalia said the federal judiciary is hardly a cross section of America. He says if confirmed, Barrett will be the only sitting justice who did not receive her law degree from Harvard or Yale and spent most of her time in the Midwest. He says when this vacancy occurred, he was the first to advocate for a judge from the Midwest because we need more judges who understand Midwestern values. Braun says Barrett is a legal titan who drives a minivan who is just as comfortable at a Saturday afternoon tailgate as she is in an ivory tower.

He says much will be made of Barrett’s Catholic faith in the coming days. He says the founders anticipated this question and got it right. He says liberals and conservatives are bound by the Constitution’s firm edict that no religious test should be allowed. He says Barrett has been clear where she falls on faith and the law. Braun says Barrett is an originalist who will not treat the Supreme Court as a third chamber of commerce and talks up her “heartland values.” He says Hoosiers should be proud to have Barrett representing her state currently and adds that she will make all Americans proud as a justice of the Supreme Court.

1:41 PM: Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) introduces Barrett and calls her “an American original.” He says his office looked for an “extraordinary American” when there was a vacancy in the seventh circuit. He says it was abundantly clear since their first meeting that she was a “star” who was held in the highest regard by her peers in the legal community. Young says she possessed all of the qualities to be an appellate court judge then and to be a Supreme Court justice now. Young says unfortunately some Democrats resorted to attacks on her religious faith during her appellate court nomination hearings. Young says as a member of the seventh circuit, Barrett has proven she is a brilliant jurist who interprets the Constitution as written. He says she is also the first woman from Indiana to serve on the seventh circuit. Young says if confirmed, Barrett will be the fifth woman and the first mother of school-age children to be on the Supreme Court. He talks about education, faith, community, and equal justice under the law.

1:37 PM: Graham points out that the ABA gave Barrett its highest rating and reads the letter the ABA sent to Graham and Feinstein.

1:27 PM: Blackburn says Democrats have revealed today that nothing but an activist judiciary will do for them. She says Democrats want only a certain type of woman to be allowed on the Supreme Court. She calls Barrett a “brilliant jurist” who will be an “intellectual powerhouse” on the Supreme Court who will steer the panel towards textualism and originalism.

Blackburn says the radical left want to take a “hatchet” to the process and says a vocal minority finds fault with Americanism at every turn.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Ruth Bader Ginsburg: "She was indeed a role model for many because she fought to open more doors for women in the law and beyond. And I sincerely hope that I am as effective an advocate in the Senate as she was in the Court."

1:17 PM: Sen. Kennedy says he hopes Senators can talk about the role of the federal judiciary in American life this week. He says the Kavanaugh hearing was a “freak show.” He again talks about how Congress has relinquished too much power to other branches.

1:05 PM: Technical problems as Harris tries to testify. Senators can’t see her on the screen and there is a lot of background noise.

Harris says the committee has ignored procedures to keep people safe, including requiring testing of members. She says Republicans postponed business on the Senate floor and says this hearing should have been postponed and the decision to hold the hearing is “reckless” and puts janitorial staff and the Capitol police at risk.

Continuing with her campaign speech, Harris says Senate Republicans have not lifted a finger for 150 days re: the House COVID bill. She says Senate Republicans have made it “crystal clear” that rushing through a Supreme Court nomination is more important than helping Americans dealing with COVID/economic problems.

Harris says Republicans want to rush Barrett’s nomination because they want the Supreme Court to do their “dirty work” on Obamacare.

12:55 PM: Sen. Crapo says the hearing is 16 days after Barrett’s announcement and most hearings have come within the 16-day window. He says these proceedings are in line with past timelines in the Senate. Crapo rips Democrats for court packing and says “this is not court packing.” He says the standard arguments against Barrett about how she will be an activist judge who will overturn Obamacare are just standard arguments that are made when a Republican nominates someone to the Supreme Court. He claims it has never been true and will not be true with Barrett. Crapo also calls out Democrats for filibustering a COVID relief package and then accusing Republicans of not caring about COVID relief.

He highlights Barrett’s commitment to stare decisis and says she is the “ideal candidate” to fill this vacancy. He says he looks forward to discussing the proper role of a judge in America’s legal system with judge Barrett.

12:42 PM: Booker opens by telling the story of an American who got coverage because of Obamacare and then was diagnosed with diabetes. Booker says he is worried about what will happen if Obamacare is overturned because he now has a pre-existing condition. He says Americans are scared about a future with Obamacare and Roe v. Wade, and voters should believe Trump when he said he wanted justices to overturn Roe and Obamacare. He claims Senate Republicans know Americans don’t want this and they don’t care. He says they have “one window of opportunity” before Americans vote. Booker asks a GOP colleague on the committee to stand up with him and help him end this “charade” that is “violating their own words, statements.”

Democrats, who can often be in disarray, are incredibly disciplined and staying rigidly on their Affordable Care Act message during Barrett's confirmation hearing

— Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) October 12, 2020

Let’s be clear: nothing about today’s hearing is normal. It’s not normal that @SenateGOP are rushing through a confirmation hearing, violating their own words all to ensure that millions of Americans will lose their health care in the middle of a pandemic.

12:35 PM: Ernst opens by saying women were given the right to vote only a hundred years ago, and she says she is so proud what women have accomplished in this country. She says this is the first time she has been a member of the judiciary committee during a Supreme Court nomination process. She says she is not a lawyer and brings a different perspective. She says the Supreme Court is the defender of our Constitution and her test for a Supreme Court justice is whether she will defend the Constitution. Ernst says she hears about judicial activism from her colleagues on the left who want to turn the Supreme Court into a super legislature. She says she is concerned that Barrett’s faith and family will be attacked during the hearings from Senators who do not have an open mind. She says her opponents want to paint her as a “handmaid,” a TV-caricature of a religious radical.

12:25 PM: Opening statements resume, with Hirono slamming the White House as a “Coronavirus hot spot” and ripping the GOP for not passing COVID relief legislation. She says these are “not normal times” and Senate Republicans are trying to put a justice on the Supreme Court to get rid of Obamacare. Hirono says Barrett aligned herself with Scalia, who voted twice to strike down Obamacare, at the White House “super-spreader event.” Hirono calls this a “hypocritical” and “illegitimate process” and accuses Republicans of wanting Barrett to be seated on the court to hear the Obamacare case a week after the election. She says repealing Obamacare is at the top of the GOP’s “hit list.”

11:34 AM: Tillis accuses Democrats of “fear-mongering,” saying Barrett will threaten healthcare and labor rights and get rid of Obamacare. He says his review of Barrett’s record is that she reaches conclusions dictated by law and not by personal preference. He tells Barrett to stand tall and proud when the left criticizes Barrett in the coming days.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Amy Coney Barrett has eloquently defended herself through the Senate confirmation hearings this morning. But as Dems grew increasingly vicious, she was forced to turn to desperate measures.

After several hours of hearings, Barrett pulled out a large crucifix and held it aloft. A light shone from the heavens, and the Democrats knew they were defeated.

They shrunk back and began to hiss. "Noooo!" cried Senator Richard Blumenthal. "It burns us! Take it away!" He dove under his desk to hide from its light.

"Agggghhhh!!!" screamed Senator Cory Booker, his skin sizzling at the sight of Jesus on the cross. "I'll get you one day, Barrett!"

"Looks like Booker's blasting off again!" he shouted as he jumped through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man in an attempt to escape the burning.

Senator Mazie Hirono made a loud hissing noise and growled at the cross. Her head began to turn around and around like a demonic owl. Then, she vomited pea soup.
