Monday, as Congress gears up for an intense showdown, our next guest has known Judge Barrett for fifteen years and says liberals have nothing to fear over the prospect of a justice. Amy Coney Barrett here to explain is author of what it means to be human. The case for the body and public bioethics, Professor Carter, Snead, welcome to the show its wonderful to have you here on an issue like this someone who knows Amy, Coney Barrett for a long time. What can you tell us about here, her character and what we could likely expect in a justice Barrett sure, thanks for having me on justice, hopefully Justice, Judge Barrett is an extraordinary person. She is absolutely brilliant. In addition to her brilliance, shes one of the most extraordinarily good people ive ever met. She has the highest integrity disciplined fair. All the virtues you want in a supreme court. Justice are embodied in judge, Barrett Jedediah. What do you say to

people who have already begun labeling her as an extremist, I dont understand what that could possibly mean. Judge Barrett is one of the most normal lovely people you could ever meet. One of the things folks say about Judge Barrett is, if you dont want to like her, you better, never meet her. I think seeing her in the rose garden, seeing her on Capitol Hill people will see immediately that this is something you would admire in public life, but also someone that you would like having as a friend. She is a family person. She likes to go to tailgates likes to have dinner parties. She does a fantastic job. She would have folks over during the all of the New Orleans festivals, Mardi, GRAS, three kings. She and her husband would make shrimp Creole and Jambalaya the efforts to label people, extremists or conservatives. This is out of the playbook politicians, use every time, theres a Supreme Court appointment.

I think people will see for themselves that its just not plausible when this amazing woman comes before the United States and her hearings on Monday, Jedediah, yeah and finally just quickly, but the goal for many of us is to get a constitutionalist. We dont want anyones personal beliefs to be front and center when theyre a Supreme Court justice. Do you trust she would be able to put personal views aside and just rule based on the constitution? I do. This is a big point of confusion. What you want in a judge, a judge is not a politician. What you want is someone who will put their views aside and focus on the constitution or focus on the statute thats at issue. She testified under oath in twenty seventeen and her record as a judge since then has borne it out that she will use discipline and focused on the legal questions and her personal views are completely irrelevant to her work. As a judge, we can all be confident thats what I meant in the article liberals have nothing to fear in that judge. Barretts

personal views are, I irrelevant. She has open mindedness to focus only on the you law when she does work her in the courtroom. Jedediah. Professor, thank you for being here today. We look forward to checking out.
