Summary

Here are six key moments from day two of Barrett’s hearing: After hours of answering questions on her legal philosophy and recalling her own judgments and those of other courts, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas., asked Barrett about how she prepared.“You know most of us have multiple notebooks and notes and books and things like that in front of us,” Cornyn said. “Can you hold up what you’ve been referring to in answering our questions?”“Is there anything on it?” Cornyn asked.8 KEY MOMENTS OF DAY ONE OF AMY CONEY BARRETT'S CONFIRMATION HEARING Barrett cracked a smile and held up a blank notepad that was sitting in front of her.“The letterhead that says ‘United States Senate,'” she responded as giggles echoed throughout the room.“That’s impressive,” Cornyn said.Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., asked during Barrett's confirmation hearing if she agrees with the late Justice Antonin Scalia's view that the Constitution does not guarantee a right to gay marriage. So why should I say someone else should do the difficulty if the difficulty is the only reason to say no?"Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., the Democratic vice presidential nominee and a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, gave a lengthy opening statement before hitting Judge Amy Coney Barrett for citing the “Ginsburg Rule” in refusing to reveal her views on hot-button Supreme Court cases, noting that the late justice was “far more forthcoming at her hearing about the essential rights of women.”“Judge Barrett, several times today you have quoted Justice Ginsburg’s testimony about not making predictions in future cases,” said Harris, after a lengthy opening condemning President Trump and his efforts to repeal the ACA."I'm not going to express a view on whether I agree or disagree with Justice Scalia for the same reasons that I've been giving," Barrett said in deferring to answer questions about same-sex marriage. Board of Education, which banned segregation in schools, would be considered a super precedent because “people consider it to be on that very small list of things so widely established and agreed upon by everyone, calls for its overruling simply don’t exist.” But the questions about Roe is what led her to conclude that Roe was not a case that could not be overturned.“I'm answering a lot of questions about Roe, which I think indicates that Roe doesn’t fall into that category,” the Supreme Court nominee said.LIVE UPDATES: AMY CONEY BARRETT'S HEARING CONTINUES AFTER TENSE OPENING DAY Barrett pointed to Harvard Law professor Richard Fallon, who argued Roe v.
