Amy Coney Barrett updates Senate questionnaire to include two talks to pro-life groups
WASHINGTON, D.C., October 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett supplemented her Senate questionnaire to include two talks she gave to pro-life groups at the University of Notre Dame, a Catholic institution, and some media outlets immediately speculated about potential fallout during the confirmation hearings beginning Monday.

It will be interesting to see how the Democrats play this. Clinton lost white women in 2016. They desperately need that demographic.
I don’t watch the fake news any more, but they usually start leaking the weekend before the hearings (like they did with Kavanaugh/Ford). I haven’t heard much. They seem to still be fighting the lost cause of “Trump can’t nominate” which is already a done deal. Harris even lies about Lincoln, which was pointless because the President’s decision had already been made.
Makes me think we’ll get lots of speeches and table banging, but they won’t touch Barrett out of fear of angering women voters.
I’m curious to see if the Dems talk about how the Republicans are “packing the court.” They seem to be trying to change the meaning.
Joe Biden Said He Had No Intention Of “Fracking The Court” Yesterday…..
dana…did he said…fracking…??????
Joe is really trying his breast!
It’s really bad when you can’t decide if your comment reflects an awesome sense of humor on your part ?- or if the comment is factual!!
Joe Biden should announce that he is putting a lid on this and we can get back back to life.
Welcome to 2020?!
The down sides for Democrats are that court-packing is not popular with the public (hence their total avoidance and deflection), and just like the nuclear option, they’d be opening the door for Republicans to do the same in the future.
Sending prayers for a smooth safe hearing…Deep State has only terror!
TY…
Has NBC hired any killers for the event?
Killers with credentials.
“Hey, everybody; remember the last hearing when Attorney Debra Katz represented Christina Blasey-Ford and then recruited her old client Julie Swetnik to falsely accuse Bret Kavanaugh, for which she was charged with suborning perjury and eventually disbarred? Neither do we!”–The Professional Liar Media
I pray for ABC, they will do anything to destroy her.
I’ll certainly pray for ACB. ABC can go to hell!
Sorry, fingers slipped!
Something Tell’s Me This Hearing Will Be Boring.. The Exploit’s Of Brett “PJ” & “Squi” Doling-Out “Qualudes” And Having Their Way With “Private-School Girl’s” Had All The Salaciousness Of “American Psycho” Meet’s “Fifty-Shades Of Grey”……
I will not waste my time listening to either the Dems crapping all over themselves and insulting the Judge’s integrity and religion. Nor will I listen to the Republicans pontificating about how great she is and how much better “they” are. She was vetted three years ago.
Move her out of the Committee and schedule a floor vote. We don’t need a 3-ring circus. Let Schumer and the Dems whine and cry all they want.
I was reading Sarah Huckabee Sanders book last night. She writes she was partial to Judge Barrett last time but thought Judge Kavanaugh might be easier to confirm. Says she misread that one – “but there’s no telling what crazy lies Democrats would have manufactured about her!” Well, Sarah, we get to find out after all!
Roomette
Interesting.
My thought is this was Divine Providence that Barrett was chosen to be the nominee when the evil baby killing witch finally went to her just ‘teward.”
It’s late in the game and Kavanaugh being a white conservative male would have taken longer because of the #METOO crazies disruptions.
Of course, the devils will crucify her right in front of her children laughing all the way but her pro life beliefs and steady courage will get her through.
What are they going to do? Say she raped guys in high school? No, it will be a loud drumbeat of her taking away women’s rights to kill their unborn. Blah blah blah. It’s old and not going to fly.
No wonder they are attacking Pres Trump in their monologues.
The only thing I wish is we had more Cruzes and less Grahams on the committee!
McConnell and Graham are knowing their rear ends are on the line here. If they don’t confirm ACB before Nov 3, their Senate tenures might be erupted end. Nothing is more motivate politicians than getting re-elected. So I think this hearing will move along fast w/o too much drama
Another TV spectacle, I’ve no doubt the RATS will manufacture a reason to attack Judge Barrett. Hard to believe Justice K debacle was October 2018!
For a moment- imagine the potential of America without the left: Trump and all his building power! American ingenuity at full speed! Employment at near 100%. Everyone on the same team, fighting for the good on the nation, working to provide for family and future, loving the country.
I often think about what America could be and could accomplish if politicians of every stripe actually worked for the benefit of the American people and the Country as a whole instead of their selves, their own power fiefdom, and financial interests.
To paraphrase Shakespeare’s King Richard—
” A statesman, a statesman, My Republic for a true Statesman!”
Those are all good points… but.. maybe the strategy is something along the lines of giving them plenty of rope… I really don’t know myself..
Give’m a .38 – – it’ll be quicker than a rope.
Agreed !
Kamala’s attending remotely. Hard to grandstand effectively when you’re just a voice from a speaker or a face on a computer screen.
True, but it might be easier for her to ‘diss’ ACB when not facing her directly. I say Kamala delivers both barrels to appease her base.
If that happens, I want to see the judge rip off the face mask and verbally fire a withering reply.
When is gonna be the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for Amy Barrett?
Praying for her and her family.
What a load of rubbish.
In sensible English speaking democracies govt gets to appoint whomever it likes to their High Courts. Uppity Senates and Upper Houses get no say.
It’s almost as bad as… actually, truly, no lie… an Upper House being able to keep talking and thereby defeat legislation not by voting but by filibuster. Beyond belief, but that’s America.
Which is precisely why America was not intended to be a democracy. So that the government could not do just as it likes.
In “sensible” English speaking democracies” they do exactly as they like, hence no free speech or armed populations in “sensible English speaking democracies”.
I know of what I speak as I spent the first 40 years of my life in one of them.
Just think what a plight we would be in if Obama had had such power.
And in those “sensible English democracies,” the people are subjects!
I’m afraid the Senate hearings are colour and movement signifying nothing. The decision has already been made that Amy gets in. The US loves political theatre that has no meaning. A great example is repetitive, common media frenzy about some clear nonsense proposal from the House that will nether get through the Senate and in any case gets vetoed by the Don….. it’s not worth wasting bandwidth on….but that wouldn’t be America.
Too extensive a subject for now, but the risible myth that countries like NZ, Australia, Canada have disarmed populations is very common belief in the US. An expat.
It is so dangerous 99.7% survive.
Ivory soap is only 99.44% pure. The Democrats see the glass as .3% full.
I hope they have a nice, long, nasty hearing.
The harder they attack this obviously qualified woman, the more women will switch their votes to Trump.
From what I am viewing I think we need to lower the mandatory retirement age of our elected politicians!
Why is ACB wearing a mask if she’s had CoVid19 and recovered? (WaPo report)
Maybe she will remove it when she speaks.
My question too.
Its called hedging the bet. With no mask they launch the super spreader attack, which can be used alternatively when the democrats start their hypocritical character assassination attack.
The mask question can be asked but the viewers already have the answer in their mnds provided by the democrats past interviews.
Democrat have always worn masks as precautions and they are the ones calling for masks ignoring immunity discussions. WaPo is raising an issue that will not resonate.
Miss Lindsay is completely lackluster , why such a flat affect?
Maybe he was instructed to stay cool, calm and boring??
He has the boring part nailed.
/\5
He’s in a tight senate race in SC and may lose
It is doing his “predator” stalking in the brush routine. He is waiting either for:
1. The hoped for democrats to make moves slandering the nominee and himself.
and
2. Do his Megatron act in closing, to dramatically set the stage for the vote.
Wake me when the vote happens…
My guess is that Kamela is remote so she can have questions fed to her and be coached along the way.
They probably want to avoid her being as nasty, obnoxious, condescending and phony as she came off during the Kavanaugh hearings, but she probably won’t be able to help herself because – behind the facade – she really ain’t too bright.
Amy Coney Barrett and Family Enter Capitol for First Day of Senate Confirmation Hearings (VIDEO)
Will the DemScum viciously attack Amy in front of her young children?
I expect so because they have no decency
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/amy-coney-barrett-family-enter-capitol-first-day-senate-confirmation-hearings-video/
Some of them seem young to sit through this.. Maybe they will be excused after a bit?? THe older children, I hope they stay.
Yes. Have some of the older children stay to dare the Dems to be offensive to this woman in front of her children.
I fear for their health if they have to sit there all day wearing a mask.
Yes… I don’t wear a mask, so I keep forgetting how awful they are for a long period.
Please Dems. Please accuse ACB of being a racist for having adopted two Haitian children in front of them in the audience. Show us how low you are.
I’d love for mama bear to stand up and slap the dem across the face.
Feinstein… what is she, 100 years old??
2020 – 1933… Where is my calculator?? She is 87!!! and not a grey hair.
Term limits!!!
It’s a miracle (ha ha)
It is all about the Chinese food and acupuncture treatments provided by her driver…
I’m giving this to God. May He protect, bless and keep her, and rebuke those who stand in the way.
I am listening to Di-Fi, Oye-Vey, she’s bringing up politics, politics, politics, it’s time for age limits in Congress just for Air Transport Rated pilots aka 65, I’ve had enough.
I am somewhat shocked that ACB is wearing a mask, I am sick of this maskification of America….
Graham sounded like he was giving the opening statement for the Democrats
Of course to a cynic like me, the best possible outcome are some of Amy’s younger kids crying as the Democrat Senate leftists insult their mother.
Excellent tv for suburban voting mothers with kids.
Sen, Grassley up now, a far more thoughtful and historically based opening statement by the Senator vs the one given by Feinstein.
When future generations look back on images of the masked nominee, I wonder what they will think about this unusual time in history.
Hopefully they will recall it as a short-lived, but absolutely disgraceful, chapter in our history, where our Land of Liberty, with freedom reigning from “Sea to Shining Sea,” abandoned its heritage and its’ citizens birthright, and descended into the abyss of totalitarian police States operated by tin-pot dictators.
What is the story with Schumer threatening “no quorum” Can anyone explain this?
They will not vote, so they won’t have enough votes for a real confirmation..
https://foxbangor.com/national-news/schumer-says-democrats-wont-give-gop-quorum-to-advance-barrett-nomination/
They won’t show up to vote, thereby denying a quorum necessary for a vote. Delay tactic, won’t work assuming Lindsey and Mitch know how to counter.
The Turtle has this covered.
That just seems too easy… but I put nothing past those a__hats
Don’t they just need a majority of Senators present and not all Senators?
I think the Committee requires that two minority members (Dems) be present in order for a vote to take place. So technically if no Dem shows up for actual vote, then vote can’t happen. Lindsey will have to counter.
That one can be fixed with a senate rule change per the constitution. I think Mitch will make that rule change. Chuckie Cheese is aiming for the actual vote quorum requiring 51 senators be present. He only needs to convince 3 Republicans NOT to show up. See my post above, he has that one as a sure bet possibility:
Romney
Murkowsky
Collins (by having her democrat opponent take a dive)
Yes !
What Chuck U is going to do is prevent a quorum to the committee vote to send ACB to the senate floor. All Mitch has to do is put up a discharge petition requiring 51 votes and it gets out of committee and on to the floor for a vote.
He just has to make a deal with just 3 or 4 republican senators to kill a quorum.
I say a 4th may be needed. I am not sure if the VP can be used to create a quorum, the VP only breaks ties.
For sure Schumer has:
Romney
Murkowsky
Collins (bought off with re-election promise)
A justice cannot discuss future rulings.. so how will she be able answer direct questions..
So why is ACB masked and the Senators not?
and her family.. good question.
isn’t she immune anyway now?
She hasn’t had it or tested positive as far as I am aware. Once you have had it yes. Your system should build the antibodies.
She had it a month or so ago.
Really? I missed that. So she needs to UNmask. No one should be able to force her to wear one or to take a vaccine for something she is already immune to.
Yes, it might have been more than a month ago. It came up when she was as nominated.
I agree – she should not be wearing a mask.
TY.
I was going to say the rule is that when not talking the mask must be worn. But then I just noticed Graham not talking and not wearing his mask. So who knows?
the dimms are prob planning to infect her and her family………….can’t rule out the possibility
I agree. BUT, she could still testify from her sick bed. IF Congress can’t get their rear ends to work at the Capitol as we pay them to do, then there should be ZERO issues with that. IF Yates an Coney could do it…
In fact, she should insist on it after what happened to all of the people in TRUMP’s admin and campaign.
OH, and let’s not forget about Judge Sullivan’s disastrous “listening” event a couple of weeks ago.
Get off the mask already. Its called tactics. She removes the “super spreader” discussion and all the associated BS from being used. It is a very smart play on the part of the people handling her participation. Now is not the time to make any brave statements as that will not win her votes and hand an issue to the media.
The democrats and media have been setting up the mask issue since the debates.
Get off my post. It was a legit question.
I think she’s wearing the mask to give the senators zero actual excuse to cancel the hearing. The conspiracy Dems think her rose garden announcement was a super spreader event. We all know the only super spreader is the lady running for President errr Vice President
I’m Joe Biden and I forgot this message
Again the spaghetti spined Repubs capitulate to the DemCong Pedocrats and the MSM Whores of the CCP. Screw hearings- just call the vote.
It may have been necessary to hold this for Mitch to keep some squish senators in the majority for ACB. Makes it look like just another confirmation, and thus makes the Dems look like the unreasonable ones who are departing from the usual procedure.
Mitch is NOT guaranteed a quorum on the floor of the senate. Chuckie Cheese Schumer only needs 3 republican no-shows. Romney and Murkowsky are already guaranteed not to be there if he gets a 3rd.
Don’t think Romney could get away with it without losing reelection in 2024. Voting to impeach Trump will be irrelevant in 2024 because Trump will be finished and it didn’t really cause any harm but causing Barrett to be canned will still be there and a lot of people in Utah won’t forget or forgive for Romney doing it. JMHO
Well… politics = power.
Power = $$$$$$$
‘nuf said.
So this is going to be an epic lying session, aka DIM election commercial, about how the Rs will push you off a cliff and everyone will die because ObamaCare. Got it.
So a day that ends in Y then
EXACTLY.
“We should not be holding this hearing now…”
Yeah, but, WE ARE!
Poor babies.
Should go straight to vote. Play be Dem rules. No need to put ACB through this bs fiasco.
All this will do is be the death knell for Lindsey.
He will lose and Sanders will take over a Budget Chairman.
CoC plan comes into fruition.
A self-righteous hypocrite pretending his side would not do the exact same were the situation reversed.
I HATE THAT AMY IS WEARING A DAMN MUZZLE!
Yes.. but it will hide any reactions… mask emotions… IDK.. she must have a good reason.
Maybe everyone has a mask except the person speaking? That may have been an agreement.
amwick- wearing the muzzle mask is THEATER at this point. I get it, she doesn’t need any more controversy at this point.
I can’t believe the disgusting, dirty, filthy Demon Rats. They are truly the Spawn of Satan. Klobuchar is really despicable.
Leahy holding up a photo of a constituent in a wheelchair. Barrett is going to take away her wheelchair and in-home support. We have one week of this. I think I’ll go fishing.
Leahy is painful to watch
Notice how these dinosaurs brag about how long they’ve been in the Senate. You’d think that would be something they might want to hide. The Senate is the American version of the British House of Lords.
Whiners, whiners, whiners. Bring in the tissues. Woe is me.
Leahy said that ACB shouldn’t have been nominated while “the nation” was in mourning for RGB. He means the left was in mourning for losing a SCOTUS seat. The rest of the nation just went on with their lives.
Why is the nominee need to wear a mask, she is s clearly more than six feet away from anyone.
Dems spouting doom and gloom and toss grandma over the cliff if Amy Coney Barrett gets on bench. Sorry been there done that DEMs, Voters can see thru you so go pound sand.
Barrett is probably one of the most top qualified nominees ever to appear in front of the senate….she has brains and the experience dems could only wish.
So, where are all the photos of all of the people who got kicked off their plans and lost their doctors after Obama lied to them for YEARS that you could keep your doctor and your plans we he knew FULL WELL it was a lie?
Amen TwoLaine ??
Or the people who had to pay an exorbitant tax to NOT take this piece of crap insurance over the years, thanks to Supreme Roberts and the DIMs.
So the hearing is only till Wednesday right?
3 days is what Miss Lindsey promised…….
“how do you do it” she was asked..
I saw her eyes sparkle.. she was smiling!!
Just reminder. If a law is deemed unconstitutional by the supreme court, there is nothing stopping the legislative branch of writing a new law or rewriting the law that was ruled unconstitutional. Says a lot about the legislative branch. ??
DICk Durbin open’s with the Chi-nah pandemic
>fear and emotion
And now, all things P o L i Tics
Interesting that ACB just took off her mask
and drank water
>timing?
Wednesday is the last day of these hearings correct?
Yep.
Unless Miss Lindsey caves…….something “go along to get along” RINOs do reflexively….
There was only one person responsible for the legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. That was Ruth Bader Ginsburg. ?
The actual context of things don’t matter to DICk
