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?”

Things like this will make the RATs look more incredibly childish and foolish than they already look if they vote against her — and they will.

I’m dying laughing!!!

Damn, appears the thread’s occupied by a lot of folks prone to unprovoked a$$holism. All I asked was if someone could assure me that this would indeed be a conservative SCJ. A worthy question considering the last few decades sometimes having some wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Fixed it for you....

LOLOL!!

This would appear to be a set-up if it was a Republican who asked about this.

I never could figure out why students around me were writing furiously trying to copy down everything the teacher or professor said. It was a stupid thing in my mind..............

People perceive, process, and store information differently. The research by Meyers and Briggs turned up four major ways, with multiple variations. For instance, people who are highly visual may not catch all the details or implications of the spoken words until reading them again and forming mental pictures. Such people may have difficulty with the abstractions of math “word problems”, but excel off the charts at geometry, and at understanding the flow-through design of systems. They might become engineers, architects, vascular or brain surgeons, or automotive designers.

You ever had a libtard arts professor who didn’t test off the textbook, but his own bullshit ramblings? That’s why you take notes...

It was a different time, in a galaxy far, far away........................

People with tactile memory memorize by transcription (this is also when people learn a skill by doing/practicing a skill). If you naturally have another method that works well for you (sounds like you have a bit of a photographic memory), that’s great. Most of the planet is made up of tactile learners however (which is why we train people the way we do), so you best not treat them with arrogance. Your memory is from the eye to the brain, some are from the ear to the brain, some (a lot of chefs and somaliers) are from the tongue/nose to the brain, and some from the hand to the brain.

I always used notes to remember key pages, paragraphs etc. One key word would help me to remember a whole section. They say you remember more when writing things down but then again everyone is different!

Bkmk blank page

What would have been a real hoot is if she had held up her blank note pad with one hand — and an upraised middle finger with the other hand.

Do you think that the idiots would understand what she was saying or does it have to be translated?

[shotgun]

I was the same way. Even in my professional life I rarely, if ever take notes.

The funniest thing was going to a meeting with lawyers involved and they are scribbling down notes. So now that I’ve been in a senior management position for the last 17 years, we always have a lawyer in the room, so if I can’t recall something, I just ask for their copy...

[9YearLurker]

I can’t.

said, "Can someone reassure me that Amy is truly a conservative, not some sort of McCain/Snowe/Murkowski/Justice Roberts type?"

I'm amazed at the answers you got. Which was mostly "do your own research" Leftists type of talk that want you to feel for her.
My answer. There is no way to know. Though she says the right things.

Can someone reassure me that Amy is truly a conservative, not some sort of McCain/Snowe/Murkowski/Justice Roberts type?

You can never know 100%. But she is not big on the cocktail circuit like Roberts was, she has been public about a pro-life position for a VERY long time, The adopting of the Haitian children would not have helped her judicial career (she is already a mother several times over before adopting), so we must assume she is doing that out of love.

There is no indication that she planned this kind of rise from her childhood, as Rhodes College and Notre Dame Law School are not natural paths for the ambitious. It also means she wasn't exposed to the Lawrence Tribe types. In fact, Notre Dame had the most well-known pro-life law professor in Charles Rice.

How many of you thought John Roberts was a great conservative?

I am absolutely mesmerized and humbled by her absolute unmitigated brilliance. I’ve practiced law in DC for over 40 years, have come across some really brilliant people, and have never, ever seen anything like this.

I think even the likes of Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, two fabulous legal intellects, are impressed by Judge Amy.

In the battle of the Amys, Coney Barrett did to Klobuchar what Notre Dame’s offensive line did to Florida State on Saturday night.
