Judge Amy Coney Barrett initially failed to disclose two talks she gave in 2013 hosted by two anti-abortion student groups on paperwork provided to the Senate ahead of her confirmation hearing to become the next Supreme Court justice.
Barrett, President Donald Trump's nominee to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, gave the talks in 2013 in her capacity as a law professor at the University of Notre Dame. The seminar was co-sponsored by the school's Right to Life club and constitutional studies minor, and the lecture was held by the law school's Jus Vitae club.
Late on Friday night, hours after this story published, the Senate Judiciary Committee released a supplemental update to Barrett's committee questionnaire that includes the lecture and seminar, as well as a paid advertisement she signed that criticized Roe v. Wade and reaffirmed support for Notre Dame's "commitment to the right to life."
Barrett's initial failure to disclose the two events also raises questions about whether the questionnaire is complete or whether there will be any consequences from the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees her confirmation hearing. Past chairmen of the powerful committee have halted the nomination process after judicial nominees omitted information in their Senate paperwork but under committee Chairman Lindsey Graham that scenario is unlikely.
The committee has slated a hearing for Barrett on October 12 in an effort to confirm her by the full Senate before the election.
Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee sent a letter to the Justice Department this week that said Barrett did omit materials concerning Roe v. Wade and asked if Barrett omitted any more materials after the National Review reported that Barrett signed a letter on a "right to life" ad in 2006 that called for the end of the landmark legal decision.

Protecting innocent little preborn babies between conception and birth is a good thing.
Everyone who is for protecting innocent little preborn babies between conception and birth must say so loudly and proudly.
That includes Supreme Court Justices.
Protecting babies is the foundation of civilization.
And so CNN..............?
Are we supposed to believe that this means Judge Barrett was attempting to conceal the fact that she is prolife? What garbage!
I believe firmly in retroactive abortion, and I say we start with the left.
How many talks did she disclose? She forgot two? Oh the horror!
oh my, they’ve really got her now- Hey CNN- Say hello to the new SC judge Amy-
“ CNN acts like Amy Coney Barrett being pro-life is a bad thing, and that each revelation about her pro-life activities is negative.
Protecting innocent little preborn babies between conception and birth is a good thing.”
Depends on who’s in charge.
So were are not supposed to even have discussions on the murder of the unborn?
So CNN, is this all you have? Tough schiff. Elections have consequences.
Good. I hope the coming Democrat inquisition serves to radicalize her.
OK, that’s it.
Now, I’ve got the vapors.
When Lindsay Graham nonchalantly booked the first hearing weeks away, some said that could give time for rotten things to be done against her.
We said it.
They have no shame. By the hearing’s conclusion they will not be inhibited this time as some predict. They don’t care. ems will go all out to lie that she is the worst and most controversial candidate in history. Scumbags.
She is “guilty” of her sincere belief in God and His teachings.
100% agree!
Blank CNN.
mmhmm - just like Ginsburg failed to disclose she worked for the ACLU.
I think most of us have had a few moments that radicalized us. ACBis definitely going to have some in front of that Senate committee.
I didn’t know it was any of their business.
They are asking questions that have nothing to do with being a good supreme court justice.
That jerk is vile.
I took a kid who was the product of a rape under my wing about 3 years ago.
He’s a freaking handful.
To say the least :)
Puerto Rican kid from brooklyn and he’s 18 and so far no arrests since we met.
He acts like a gangsta but he’s not and he doesn’t commit crimes.
But his future is still 50/50 on what it will be.
Brought up in a BRUTAL life but not very appreciative of the fact that I love him.
A schemer he is :) And a bad temper. And always trying to make a quick buck with legal scams :)
Very much like me when I was young :)
He was doing Very Well in Jobcorps away from his lousy neighborhood and then they shut it down because of this horrible virus
who knows if he will go back?
i HATE cuomo..this one’s on him as the jobcorps site was upstate
sorry for making this so long
Let’s see, in October of 2013, I was in . . . I was saying . . . I was going . . .. Well, really, I can’t actually remember. I do lots of stuff, go lots of places, and say lots of stuff, I even speak formally sometimes. I swear, at my best, I would need the MSM rats to investigate everything available to help me remember.
This whole line of criticism is dimocrat BS.
