I'm old enough to remember when Republicans were falling over themselves at how impressive it was that she wasn't using any notes.
— Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen) October 14, 2020
In retrospect, maybe she should have used at least one note. pic.twitter.com/XkUFLBUnq8
I am Amy's empty notepad. Yesterday she held me up, supposedly to show that she needed no notes -- it was all in that brain of hers.

Today, that brain couldn't come up with what eighth-graders memorize.
Not for nothing am I empty, folks.
She comes to the hearing with no documents, only a blank congressional provided notepad & she can’t remember all the guaranteed freedoms of the 1st Amendment... Looks like she has been told not to worry, no matter what the Republicans will vote her in. A rigged hearing... #RESIST

CONEY BARRETT: That's been a matter of policy debate in which I can't express a view pic.twitter.com/vgc3qJV097
It's a morality question, not a policy question.

wait, why can she not express a personal opinion based upon her deeply held religious beliefs on such an issue?

"BOOKER: Do you think it's wrong to separate children from their parents to deter immigrants from coming the the US?"
BARRETT: "Senator Booker, I think you're trying to trick me into expressing the opinion of a decent human being. As you know I can't do that."
Awful answer. But I wish he framed his question in a celver way. For example: Are you aware of any law that would justify seperating children from their parents for a reason other than protecting the children? In this way she couldn't have refrained from answering the question.

Pretty soon she’s going to be unable to express a view as to whether her name is Amy Coney Barrett.

Perhaps the most revealing moment in this whole SCOTUS sham hearing. This isn’t a nominee respectfully interviewing for a lifetime seat on the highest court in the land, this is smug evasive condescension. Oh, and she clearly doesn’t accept the scientific fact of climate change. https://t.co/vDrfPNONR2

"How about racism? Do you have any thoughts on racism?" Uhh... "I have read things about racism. I would not say I have firm views on it." Like racism, climate change is not an opinion: it is real and affects all of us.

I wonder why this hasn’t come up during confirmation hearings. Extremely relevant, as it connects her with big corporate dealings, and fits with trumps plans with this addition to Supreme Court, over an American relief package that should be primary and takes precedence.

NBC: we'll clear our primetime schedule for you!
sums up the Trump era perfectly
Absent any detailed explanation from NBC about why they're doing this, I am going to openly speculate: The refs have been succesfully worked. The execs are hearing and fearing that the "taint" of MSNBC is affecting the NBC News brand. They think this will help correct for that. https://t.co/TfCm3fJFtQ
