CNN: Amy Coney Barrett's near perfect performance (Opinion)
CNN ^ | Oct 2020 | Paul Callan

Posted on 10/16/2020 3:04:06 AM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Judge Amy Coney Barrett delivered a relatively flawless showing in her controversial Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday. A few hours into the questioning a senator asked her to display the notes she was using to provide her detailed answers. She picked up a white notepad with nothing on it but the inscription, "United States Senate" as the hearing room erupted in laughter.

With six of her seven children, her husband and other family members watching proudly from the seats behind her, Barrett demonstrated a keen intellect, along with a formidable self-confidence leavened by just the right splash of humility under hours of senatorial questioning.

"A few hours into the questioning a senator asked her to display the notes she was using to provide her detailed answers. She picked up a white notepad with nothing on it but the inscription, "United States Senate" as the hearing room erupted in laughter. "

She was not challenged in the least by these mental midget Senators of the Democrat Party. As a matter of fact, she likely has a highly trained photographic memory. Interesting that the Texas Republican Senator Cornyn who noticed her lack of note taking, was not identified in this article. He made a point. And the heads of the leftist press have been exploding ever since.Thus the failure to mention the brilliance of Senator Cornyn, he himself no slouch when it comes to the law, a former AG of Texas. These lefty spin doctors hide Republican excellence every chance they get.

“...relatively flawless showing in her controversial Senate confirmation...”

Right after the 2016 election, almost everyone in the Media-Dem Party announced that Trump could not be “normalized” meaning he could not be treated like a normal president. To that end they label everything even remotely connected to Trump in any way as “controversial”. They have attempted to make his every he does or says “controversial” and everything he doesn’t say or do equally “controversial”. So, it comes as no surprise that they describe Amy Barrett’s hearing as “controversial”.

Amy Coney Barrett’s intellect, poise, grace, humility and feminine charm all wrapped up in one neat package was more than the, at best average, Democrat committee members were willing to seriously challenge. She was definitely the most intelligent person in the room, and everyone knew it. She especially made the Democrats look small and insignificant in every area that mattered. Thank you, President Trump, for allowing me to witness the most qualified supreme court nominee testify during my lifetime. I am 81 years old so I have seen a few.

No matter what the issue that may arise during Ms. Barrett’s tenure on the court, we Americans can rest assured that she will rule in strict accordance with OUR CONSTITUTION. She will arrive at the right conclusion. How nice it would be if the court had nine Amy Coney Barrett’s.

It will be delayed until after the election. Count on it.

The events on which this election will turn have not yet occurred. Strap your seat belt on-- we're in for a bumpy ride.
