Klobuchar led off the days venomous assault. This isnt a rush to justice, this is a rush to put in a justice. We are dealing with a president who doesnt think truth matters, and he has allies in congress who in the past defended our democracy but are now doing his bidding. Yes, judge, i think this hearing is a sham. More than 9 million americans have already voted, and millions more will vote while this ill legitimate Committee Process is underway by replacing Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg with someone who will undo her legacy, President Trump is attempting to roll back americans lives for decades to come. Lou the democrats, the party of hate. The radical dems made no arguments today against judge barretts credentials, her character and capacity, but they did define the confirmation hearing as a litmus test for the future of obamacare. Its a topic that law professor Jonathan Turley says is entirely inappropriate for the senators to even discuss. The assumption being made, sort of brought

Will have a hearing that hopefully the country will learn more about judge merrick and the and willdge barrett learn more about the law and maybe the differences in the party. As to the hearing room, i doubt if there is any room in the country given more attention and detail to make sure city of the architect of the capitol working with the attending physician has set up the room in a fashion we can safely do our business. Senator lee is back and has been cleared by your physician. Welcome back. The covid problem in america is real. It is serious, dangerous, and we have to mitigate the risk. I would let every american know that many of you going to work today and have probably been at work today, and hope your employer will take care of your health care needs, but we do have a country that needs to move forward safely.

The floor is yours, judge. Ranking member feinstein and members of the committee, i am honored and humbled to appear before you today as the nominee for associate justice of the Supreme Court. I think the president for entrusting me with his profound responsibility this profound responsibility and the graciousness he and his family have shown me throughout the process.

Host did you have any active role in the president s choice for the Supreme Court . Guest that is the president s call and it is done through the white House Counsel office. I am thrilled because i felt like everyone he was looking at closely was really wellqualified for this position. I feel like i could not be in a better position.
