I am going to be laying out the ways in which judge barretts views on reaching back and reconsidering and overturning the law are not just extreme, they are disqualifying. She has taught at a will regarded law school but has views that make are not qualified to serve on the supreme court. President trump has said he would only nominate someone who would overturn the Affordable Care act, taking away Health Care Protections for more than 100 million americans. In the middle of a pandemic. And both President Trump and members of the majority on this committee have said they would only vote for a nominee who would overturn roe v. Wade. As i will lay out in my questioning this week, we should not be having this hearing with two members of the committee infected with covid. It is rushed, it constitutes court packing, and her views are too extreme to qualify her to serve on this court. If youre elected, will you try to change one of the three branches of government by adding justices to the c

, republicanurkowski from alaska said fair is fair. If that is what he did from the in the election four years ago, we should not be racing ahead. I am concerned and so are some members of the majority is ahave to say that different issue then packing the court. The question is whether the senate should vote to confirm barrett. What do you make of joe bidens refusal to answer the question if elected will you change the number of justices on the court . And can he hold out on that nonanswer for two weeks . It is grotesque that president Vice President will not answer that question. What they are refusing to talk about is the suicide bombing of two branches of government. They are talking about blowing up the deliberative structure by abolishing the filibuster, making it possible to change the house into another they are doing that to pack the supreme court.
