Nominee amyourt Coney Barrett was back on capitol hill for a third day in a row to answer another round of questions at her confirmation hearing. This time, Committee Members had up to 20 minutes each to question judge merrick on her judge barrett on her legal philosophies and other issues. Good morning, welcome, judge. Welcome to all my colleagues. It is a long day but i thought a productive day. We have 20 minute rounds and hopefully we can be done in time before dinner tonight and we will plow ahead and have a few breaks along the way. So, a couple observations from yesterday. Theres an opportunity here to thinkinghe nominees to the extent she can share her thoughts without deciding a particular case that comes before her. Senator harris who are respect suggested you were not candid and judge barrett, i could not disagree more. I hav
We talked about it last night. What is going to happen after that . I dont know. Mr. Meadows . Thank, chairman. , you can take a bit of a breather on your return to the committee. What i want to do is go through with the people who are watching the conversation that you and i had when we spoke on the telephone. You were kind enough to hear out a presentation that i made and i intend to have some questions in that area. It does not make sense if i have not laid the predicate particularly for our viewers who are watching this. I guess the reason i want to do this is because people who are watching this need to understand that this small hearing room and the little tv box you are looking at, the little screen you are looking at are a little bit like the frame of a puppet theater.

[inaudible] senator blumenthal. Thank you very much. Thank you for being back. You very much, mr. Chairman, thank you for being back, your honor, and thank you to your family as well. I want to begin by saying, perhaps not surprisingly to you, that i was really disappointed by your responses to a number of my colleagues most recently on the coons issue of whether you would purchase fate in a decision involving the upcoming election if you were confirmed. I continue to believe that if you were to participate in a decision involving that enduring,it would do explosive damage to the court. I think you know it would be wrong, not because of anything you have done. Fact, i am not raising the issue of whether you have done any sort of deal or commitment because of what donald trump has and my republican colleagues, because they have indelibly put at issue your integrity through their statements. The president has said that he is putting you on the court as the ninth justice, so you can decid
Forward. In terms of that statement, it blows my mind that any rational person could believe that about me. This is not a game we are playing with the people of south we are playing here with the people of south carolina. Manufacturing a scenario that Lindsey Graham wants to go back to the days of segregation is not worthy of the times in which we live, it is not worthy of an assault on me. We have plenty of differences. I want to assure the people of south carolina, that statement was made with dripping sarcasm. The Justice Department is not going to about but a report on unmasking. I saw that, i would like to follow up. It seemed like everyone was talking about the scandal sen. Graham if there is a report that there is no violation of the law, i would like to know that. It feels completely sen. Graham let me just say on twitterthe trolls trying to create issues about taking a statement that was sarcastic and making something out of it, i will just say that ive been impressed with hea
