She didn’t say much either

Why should she take notes, they gonna approve her anyway, just sit there and say everything they want to hear and she's in! Bullshit 🤬🤬🤬

After you Nancy P., and Wolf, maybe the reason you didn’t understand Wolf Blitzer is because you eat $12 ice cream’s at home , out of your $30,000 refrigerator. in your mansion..you can’t relate you-no longer matter, and are now just a JOKE....

I assumed it was a list of her qualifications.

What kind of notes does one need to say nothing?

No one is questioning her intelligence. She really is that good. She's just really, really conservative and her Originalistic interpretation of the Constitution is sometimes even more conservative than even Antonin Scalia's, possibly the most conservative Justice to ever serve.

The Notorious ACB

She not up against much from the left from intellectually they keep asking they same questions over and over when they do ask a question

And yet.. Senator amyklobuchar just asked Judge Barrett whether it's illegal under federal law to intimidate voters at the polls. Barrett refused to answer. Then Klobuchar read her the law. Maybe make notes 🤷🏻‍♀️

The blank pad means only that Amy is so contemptuous of the Senators in that room that she will not pretend that she takes any one of them seriously. It is not impressive, Sen. Cornyn. It shows the breadth of her arrogance.

Why need notes when you “Can’t Answer That.”

I guess he's more easily impressed than I am🙄

HIS PHILOSOPHY IS MINE Justice Barrett declared: that Justice Antonin Scalia's 'Philosophy is my philosophy'. We all know w Scalia's was: anti-abortion, anti Obama Care, anti-LGBTQ & Black affirmative action. She's scary & I fear her judgments will mimic the late Jus Scalia's!

Who gets to bring notes to a job interview? And if you can't remember what an interviewer asks or says in a job interview that would be weird. So, 'impressive,' methinks not so much. Maybe Cornyn has memory problems so need to keep notes.

Let’s give her a cookie

Hey, I have a couple packages of blank paper in my office. I'm a frickin' genius!!

It's only impressive to idiots like Cornyn. No need to take notes when the fix is in, dummies.

It is not hard to memorize the proper answers in advance....She is well programmed....Her Handlers have done well ...

Jay Z has never written down a lyric so......

You're a waste of time JohnCornyn and so is she.

😂😂😂

Yes, very impressive to not use notes while refusing to answer every question. So impressive.

Why would you need notes when you’re not answering any questions?

What's the point of this? Notes are not the problem.

You're gone dude. Just enjoy your last important event.

Yes, most religious fanatics who have had their thoughts fed to them don’t need notes.

JohnCornyn well why would she need notes when she had her 2 or 3 lines memorized that she proceeded to use to tap dance around every single question? how difficult is that to remember 2 o 3 rehearsed lines?

Hope she used that blank notepad to jot down the law prohibiting voter intimidation that amyklobuchar had to school her on.

As noted previously- notes not needed. I’m pretty sure she could strip naked, set her hair on fire and run around the room squirting ketchup on everyone and still be confirmed.

DianaCialino Then why have the pad

Lol I have a blank note pad is impressive? In other words she is so set in her ways she won’t even think to take anything new on board. Not a good mind set for a SCOTUS

Pretty sure that’s the first time the words “impressive” and “Cornyn” have ever appeared in the same sentence. Still, you gotta respect JohnCornyn - he is doing his very best to be the worst senator from TX. The competition is tough.

This is what she wrote on that blank piece of paper. VoteThemAllOut VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

And there is another one of those deals when it comes to trump and the supreme court I am totally amazed how people can be so snowed Under it must be so many people running around with no brain or didn’t learn how to think for themselves

Is that a trump pose or what? Now she needs a Bible and a flag and her boss would be proud of her. Even her expression is a copy! I feel bad for her. She is a prop in the trump show. No RBG who asked that this not happen until after the election.

So? Wtf

They told her beforehand. But, she should have had some damn notes so she could have asked that question about it being illegal to interfere with voting. Oh and the one about originality was signature. 😳

Is that like an 'extra point' thing?

Watch out. Trump will want to sign that blank piece of paper.

what a fucking show piece.

It takes to little to impress small minds

You don’t need notes when you won’t answer anything. Just sayin.

Person, woman, man, camera, TV....These folks get impressed by the dumbest Shit!!! She's a judge talking about being a judge!!🤪

The bar is so low.

Don’t need notes when you’re not actually answering the questions.

Holding up a blank sheet of paper is impressive? Wow. Wish my teachers thought the same🙄

You don’t need notes when the vote is already decided. Photo op setup

Look! I can dodge and evade about my own beliefs **without notes**!! A genius!

uh, is it? or does it just mean her brain is empty?

Thats what trump does every day stares at a blank piece of paper

When every answer is “I can’t speak to that”, I’m not sure why you would need notes.

Wow! Sooooo impressive! Cornyn is impressively pandering. Wow! Fckng Republicans.

Judge Barrett, you know that this is a farcical hearing. You will be appointed whether you deserve it or not. Your legacy will be that you got in by lies as to how they would not push through a candidate in the 'year' before an election.

It’s not hard to lie

🤣🤣🤣

Duh! Are they suggesting she would have been given the questions ahead of time? 🧐

Trump doesn’t use notes either, and think of all his brilliant comments.

Amy Klobuchar Incisively Demonstrates How Amy Coney Barrett Hearing Is Screwing Over AmericansSenator Amy Klobuchar delivered a firm blow against the Republican Party during the nomination hearing of Amy Coney Barrett on Monday, calling the process a “sham” and deriding the rush to get President Trump’s ultra-conservative Supreme Court pick confirmed less than a month before the 2020 presidential election.\n She sounded like an unhinged moron. Never been too impressed with this one. As an entertainer she has failed to capture my attention visually. Would maybe have been interested in tuning in in her younger years but now Preston will be changing the channel! Not an entrepreneaur either

A deadlocked Senate greets Amy Coney BarrettDemocrats blamed Trump and congressional Republicans for nominating Barrett against Ginsburg’s dying wishes and rushing the confirmation process in desperate hopes of winning a conservative majority on the high court. They have the votes. Lol Deadlocked? This is why we need to give the Republicans a larger majority in the Senate and the House. Nothing will be accomplished because the liberal socialist democrats will stop any thing the Republicans propose. After doing more research about yahoo I may change my email accounts.

Amy, you're no Notorious RBG! Just walk away! You don't deserve a seat on the bench for multiple reasons. The first is that your name isn't Merrick Garland. Walk away!
