Jedediah President Trump
officially nominating Judge Amy
Coney Barrett to the Supreme
Court yesterday and given the
attack on Judge Barretts faith,
our next guest, who has known,
Judge Barrett all of her life, is
speaking out
in a new op ed for Foxnews dot com.
She writes as a lifelong friend
and meant to are judge. Barrett
continues to demonstrate to me
one can live their faith and
defend their country.
Maggie Garnett joins us now
great to have you here on this
historic day. As we talk about
Judge Barrett and what is likely
to come.
Tell us a little bit you and
your familys relationship with
Judge Barrett,
of course,
so good to be with you.
So my mother and MRS Barrett
clerked, together on the Supreme
Court,
my mom was in Justice, Thomas
Chambers,
of course, Judge Barrett was in
Justice, Scalia Leahs.
After that my mom joined the
faculty at Notre Dame LAW School
MRS Barrett joined thereafter.
We have been friend and
neighbors all our life
siblings match up and we spent
much of our life together.
Jedediah judge, Barretts faith
has been brought up. Many on the
left and social media are
criticizing that
what do you see as those that
see her faith is a problem and
worry her faith will play too
strongly a role in her rulings.
Far from being something to
criticize, I think, judge.
Barretts faith is an
inspiration to us all. It shows how ones commitment
informs her. Courage
informs her courage
and allow her to be an
incredible supreme court.
Justice
Jedediah speak to her character
as well.
One thing that will happen the
process will be tough.
It will not be easy.
Her family will be likely
targeted by some
a lot of personal attacks thrown
her way.
Is she prepared for this?
What about her character would
make her prepare for something
like this?
If anyone can handle
confirmation hearing with grace
and poise, I think it is
MRS Barrett.
We saw that in twenty seventeen as Sheehan
delled, the Senate Judiciary
Committee, then
I think well see it again.
As she said, she recognizes that
the role of a judge is one that
calls for both humility and
courage, and I think she will
bring that ive seen her
juggling so much as a mother of
seven and as a law professor,
I think you will see that she
has what it takes to handle this
with grace and with confidence
Jedediah Maggie. Thank you so
much for joining us
from what ive seen of Judge
Barrett im very impressed with
both her record and
presentation,
looking forward to hear more.
