Amy Coney Barrett apologized Tuesday for referring to sexual orientation as a "preference" during the second day of her Supreme Court confirmation hearing.

There was also the whole bit about watching the BLM/George Floyd stuff with her adopted daughter and how her adopted daughter and son were targets because of their race.
looks like she’ll be a strong character on the SC....well, not so much...
Yup, not a qualification for critical judgement.
Having her real career be in modern academia all along isn’t a great signal for independent thinking either.
