Thoughts on the Amy Barrett confirmation hearing – day 2

The hearing is a lot better today. Reasonable questions from Senators Graham and Feinstein. Feinstein is off in the emotional weeds, but so far questions have been appropriate and reasonable. Amy Barrett is obviously outstanding. She has a comprehensive knowledge of the law and factors affecting judges.

I think the senate confirmation hearings have become theater. Politicians use the hearings for their own purposes and distort what should be a straight forward and short process.

Amy Barrett should be confirmed by 90 plus votes. If not, the system is overly politicized and broken.
