Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham swore in Judge Amy Coney Barrett around 2 p.m. ET.
We finally got to hear from Judge Barrett after hearing the opening statements from the senators. I think I speak for us all when I say that I would rather hear from her than any of the senators.
Here are some clips. I published her full opening statement in the live post.

Courts have a vital responsibility to the rule of law, which is critical to a free society. But courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in the public life."

The Dems make two contradictory arguments. 1. A believing Catholic can not be trusted to ignore her personal feeling instead of relying on the rule of law. 2. Judges must rule based on emotional reactions e.g. some Vermonter might loose his health plan, instead of the rule of law.
In truth, the left does not believe in the rule of law.
I don’t trust her. She’s pandering to women. What you want is good character like Justice Thomas’s, stick to the job and don’t be corrupt.
E.g. the inclination to adopt orphans from s**thole countires is a warning sign, not a positive point. She could slip into rule by feelings any time, if she sees it as a plus for judicial confirmation.
It’s good for her soul but not good for a judge. Quite the opposite. Run for President of Oberlin if you want rule by feelings.
I said it before (got 11 down votes), but IMO, she is a snake in the grass and Trump will live to rue the day that he nominated her.
We’ll see…
And neither of you proffer any information backing up what you say.
Your “opinion” – based on what?
Mine is based on a gut feeling after listening to her nomination acceptance speech at the White House
I wonder why Barrett’s religion has the Left in fits while Ilhan Omar’s doesn’t?
