Amy Coney Barrett initially failed to disclose talks on Roe v. Wade hosted by anti-abortion groups on Senate paperwork

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.

Just like how the networks fail to disclose that their "undecided" town halls with candidates are really stacked with known Democrat activists?

She should simply reply to any of these “gotcha” questions about her faith, “Article VI, Clause 3: no religious test.” Just repeat the same answer, over and over.

And because of this I think an appropriate remedy is to skip the committee hearing, note in the record, and move to a floor vote on Monday.

I honestly am not sure if I can write down what I had for lunch and dinner the past 3 days.

Maybe 2.

But she has to remember every time she sneezed.

What!! You mean to say that Professor Barrett failed to list a talk she gave to students while she was an instructor at Notre Dame University? Oh, the horror of it all. She should be investigated by the FBI, the UN, and maybe even Interpol!

The demon rats know they have Roberts vote whenever they want to squeeze his blackmail file, so they know it is crucial to have 9 on the Bench to prevent the Roberts treachery from working. Amy is a crucial addition we the people must have to counter the demon rat cheating law suits. Te left learned a lesson over ‘hanging chads’. They will not allow a court to counter their cheating this time.

I'm inclined to think each and every person is entitled to their opinion. But what you do as a judge is a matter of a different sort.

The Dems just playing a game.
