Watch: With One Pad of Paper Judge Amy Coney Barrett Sets-Up Dems & Makes Them Look Like Complete Fools
During Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s hearing, she was peppered with legal questions from Democrats about LGBTQ rights, the ACA, abortion, and election laws. Politely, Barrett sat unnerved by the Democrat’s questions and answered every question.
Here’s an example of Santor Diane Feinstein asking Judge Barrett about election laws.
Sen. Feinstein: Does the Constitution give the president the authority to delay a general election?
Judge Barrett: “If that question ever came before me, I’d need to hear arguments from the litigants and read briefs … I don’t think we want judges to be legal pundits.” pic.twitter.com/ianDSilTps

Here are a couple more examples.
Asked if she agrees with Scalia’s opposition to the same-sex marriage ruling, Barrett says people shouldn’t “assume” that she would make the same rulings as her mentor, Scalia, but adds, “I’m not going to express a view on whether I agree or disagree.” https://t.co/rfUcaOiVbd pic.twitter.com/55qd3FfGrT

Feinstein to Barrett after she declines to say if Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided: “On something that is really a major cause with major effect on over half of the population of this country, who are women … it’s distressing not to get a straight answer.” https://t.co/rfUcaO1kjF pic.twitter.com/Idnn6NpjOE

People watching the hearing noticed that Judge Barrett doesn’t move much, after attentively listening she answers the question. Then people started to notice that Barrett is answering questions without using or taking any notes.

Senator Cornyn (R-TX) also noticed and asked Judge Barrett this…
Sen. Cornyn just asked Amy Coney Barrett to hold up her notes she brought with her.

Democrats multiple times looked down to reference their notes as they asked questions and ranted about the politics surrounding Judge Barrett’s nomination. During Democrat Senator Durbin’s 45 second rants he looks down at his notes at least twice.
At Barrett hearing, Sen. Durbin criticizes “the notion that this whole idea” of Barrett “being used for political purposes is a Democratic creation.”
“Read the tweets and you have plenty to work with,” Durbin says in apparent reference to Trump’s tweets. https://t.co/rfUcaO1kjF pic.twitter.com/oIZCVDh9VB

However, Judge Barrett made them look like fools.
When asked to hold up what she’s been using to help answer questions, Judge Amy Coney Barrett holds up a blank notepad.
