This week, we held a confirmation hearing over the course of four days for Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Barrett’s qualifications—and character—are impeccable and her nomination has received praise across the legal profession and ideological spectrum.
But, Democrats spent much of their time distracting and distorting because this nominee is so qualified. The same Democrats who call Judge Barrett a threat to pre-existing conditions are the ones who blocked the recent COVID-19 relief bill.
Judge Barrett has clearly demonstrated her judicial independence, stellar qualifications and commitment to applying the law as written. Democrats need to show up, do their job and evaluate the nominee on her merits.
