Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett held up a blank notepad when Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) asked her to show the public the notes she’s been using to answer the numerous questions spat at her during day two of the confirmation hearings.
“Most of us have multiple notebooks and notes and books, things like that in front of us,” said Sen. Cornyn (video below). “Can you hold up what you’ve been referring to in answering our questions?”

Unfortunately, for you, the answer is no... Simply, because by asking such a loaded question with mostly (3/4) irrelevant examples, there is nothing that is possible to say that could assure you...
Your mind is already made up...
Hope that made the dems in attendance ask for a break to change their Depends.
What is your point, Rannug?
That she may be sketchy on one issue or another?
I have rarely seen a candidate for anything, or simply anyone in life that I agree 100% with.
Everyone has flaws. Sure, she might turn out to be a lib someday. What control does anyone have against that?
Now that is a hoot.
Probably drew that as a doodle because she was bored with all of the nonsense.
Brilliant on Conryn’s part, since the standard is QUALIFIED/UNQUALIFIED.
LOLs!
Also, taking notes helped reinforce the lessons for me. It also kept me focused on what was going on in class.
_______________________________________________________
This was always my approach. I would transcribe the notes that night after reading the text and the in-class notes.
Cemented items in my mind.
That is a genius level judge!
That's what I get for rushing the job before leaving for a meeting.
LOL
You seem to think my question was loaded. You’re not alone, got lots of incredibly rude replies.
I was honestly asking for Freeper input.
Damn, lesson learned.
In that physical chemistry class, the prof was an ass and spent the lectures writing full speed on 2 walls of blackboard with his back to us and holding a sheath of paper. Usually he used up all the blackboards so would circle to the front, erase and put fresh writing up. The tests and quizzes were 90+% from the blackboard and the homework from the textbook. Problem was the blackboard material had very little in common with the textbook. Turns out the jerk was writing a text book for publication and using the book draft for the lecture backbone. In summary, no notes then no pass the class and homework was hell.
In physical chemistry and all my engineering classes, a single page cheat sheet was allowed and encouraged for tests. We used it for equations and whatever else each person considered critical. The focus was on doing things correctly not simply demonstrating rote memorization. Besides that, you slip into the twilight zone of thinking in math and symbols instead words. Weird...
I also have a degree in microbiology. Completely the opposite of engineering as it is largely rote memorization. For me, I usually recorded the lectures for playback each evening as it was key to laying out the why of things and definitely the emphasis items that showed up in tests.
Now, while I had to surrender the photographic memory of everything to the dustbin, I did retain a very functional photographic memory of the table of contents so to speak. In this, I have an outline of sorts in the noggin and retrieve details as needed via textbooks, professional and technical publications, companies, peers, professional contacts and such. I don’t feel the need nor do I need to know everything myself. This has been a great advantage in my non-traditional career paths.
I’ve already gone way overboard with thoughts so am going to shamelessly toss this out without going down the rabbit hole. Photographic memory easily leads to a focus on what to think. All too easily, especially for analytical personality persons like me, this can hinder a person in learning how to think.
Now to Amy Barrett, the topic at hand. All of Supreme Court justices sitting now and nominated like Barrett have an immense quantity of legal knowledge crammed in their head. They also rely heavily on exact words written on paper and a staff of clerks to provide detailed info to them to support or refute their initial opinions. She as other nominees before her, has had to do a lot of preparation to prepare for these days of inquisition.
So did I, that's why I never made it to college........
Joe can borrow Amy’s notes if he wants
But they won’t help him!
Don’t forget, she was a SCOTUS law clerk for Scalia, so she knows the territory well, from the bottom up.
“In that physical chemistry class, the prof was an ass and spent the lectures writing full speed on 2 walls of blackboard with his back to us and holding a sheath of paper. “.....................Sounds exactly like my Calculus prof. He did the same thing, only he was writing formulae from the CRC and stuff........They do this for fun..............
Lol, very good!
That a real BOOM!
