Cory Booker just accidentally referred to Amy Barrett as Justice Barrett as he entered a letter into the record opposing her confirmation, and she seemed to smile -- just a little bit -- as she took a sip of her coffee. — PolitiTweet.org

Amy Coney Barrett on whether it's wrong for the government to take immigrant children away from their parents: "That's a matter of hot political debate in which I can't express a view or be drawn into as a judge. ... I can't express a view on that." — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Coons has brought up Griswold yesterday and today. He says Scalia said just a few years ago that it was wrongly decided. She says it’s very, very unlikely to come up but can’t take a position on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Cruz is defending the Houston Astros during Amy Barrett’s confirmation hearing after Ben Sasse pointed out that they’re cheaters. Cruz said that’s a “scurrilous lie” and, jokingly, asks for the words to be stricken from the record. ⚾️ — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Sasse, who got his American history PhD at Yale, is explaining why the five freedoms in the First Amendment are all interconnected after Amy Barrett said she didn’t understand why the founders decided to group the five together. — PolitiTweet.org

Responding to a softball, Amy Barrett could only remember four of the five freedoms enumerated in the First Amendment. She forgot the right to protest. — PolitiTweet.org

Any Barrett says she cannot recall ever voting by mail and the debate over mail-in ballots is political so she can’t weigh in. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

One of the most striking takeaways from this confirmation hearing for me has been Amy Coney Barrett trying to distance and distinguish herself from Antonin Scalia to avoid answering for some of his more incendiary opinions and positions. More in the 202: https://t.co/dgqwmu0AGL — PolitiTweet.org

The hearing wraps up for the day at 8:15 pm, 11 hours and 15 minutes after it started. Today all 22 senators got 30 minutes. Tomorrow all 22 get a second round of 20 minutes to ask questions. So the day will be at least one third shorter. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Kamala Harris clearly assumes, probably correctly, that most of the people watching her speech right now — or on YouTube later — didn’t watch the last 10 hours of this hearing. On the other hand, it’s a reflection of Democratic message discipline on ACA and Roe. — PolitiTweet.org
