She literally sat down this morning with nothing in front of her except a blank piece of paper. But she doesn't even need it.

Meanwhile, almost half of the U.S. Senators who will ultimately question her today and tomorrow are equipped with BINDERS of opposition research and (what could only be described as) staff-written “gotcha” questions.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett is handling this confirmation hearing in perfect stride so far – answering questions thoughtfully and with care, while making it clear what the PROPER role of the judicial branch should be. And easily knocking down every attempt to mischaracterize her prior rulings and personal beliefs.

This past weekend, the American Bar Association issued their formal evaluation of Judge Barrett’s professional qualifications, giving her their HIGHEST rating possible. This hearing is making it easy to see why.

Great work by the Senate Judiciary Chairman, Sen. Lindsey Graham, to prioritize this hearing, as well and President Trump for nominating Judge Barrett to be the next Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.
