if there is no higher rating by the aba, i think she is overqualified. to use a sports metaphor, she is a five tool athletes, she's an institutionalist, she is a role model and i also finally she is an originalist. i will briefly go over these points and welcome questions. with respect to her brilliance, i think her articles reflect a deep appreciation of complex issues and ability to break down those complex issues and a manner that people can understand. i would point you to her article entitled "supervisory power over the supreme court" where she discusses supreme court's assumption of power to prescribe procedural rules in the 1950s over the inferior courts and how that is problematic given that congress has occasionally granted the supreme court authority to impose rules on the lower courts. so it's an interesting time, she's basically nominated the supreme court and criticizing the supreme court's conclusions in this regard. i think her discounts discussion is nuanced and reflects a willingness to not overturn thee constitutional order to get thing

if you don't believe me, just listen to what the aba says. american bar association is not high on senator lee's list and many of you. they've given republican nominees a hard time but i continue to use them because to get as many traditions in place as i can but the folks who are ewatching this hearing , their job is to evaluate the nominee in three categories: professional competency, character, judicial disposition. they've spent hundreds of hours, talked to hundreds of people from all walks of life about this judge. judge barrett. and here's what they found. the american bar association standing committee on the federal judiciary has completed the evaluation of the professional qualifications of judge amy barrett. and as you know the standing committee confined its evaluation to the qualities of integrity, professional competence and judicial temperament. a substantial majority of the standing committee determined judge barrett is world qualified and the minority is of the opinion she is qualified toserve on the supreme court of the unite

someone said to the aba the myth is real, she is a staggering academic mind. she's incredibly honest and forthright. she's exactly who you think she is. nothing about her f is fake. she's good, decent, simple, sincere, exemplary of a living integrated life. the standing committee would have been hard-pressed to come up with any conclusion other than that judge barrett has demonstrated professional competence that e is exceptiona. then the committee to look at her writings, all of her writings. they accepted input from 944 people that she's interacted with in her professional life. not one made a comment. so forget about what politicians say about judge barrett. forget about people who don't recognize what i said if you want to. look atay what people who work with her said. that in the wall business, that know herer individually, have worked with her as a judge, as a professor, and they conclude without any doubt she's one of the mostmi gifted people to ever be nominated to the supreme court. there's nothing exotic about judge barrett. she's going on to the cou

we heard the aba rate the judge is well-qualified. i think the only reason why she wasn't rated higher is that there is no higher rating by the aba. i think she is uber qualified. to use a sports metaphor, she is a five tool athlete. she is brilliant, a tremendous educator, she is an institutionalist, a role model, and an originalist. i think that is a good thing. and i will briefly go over these points, and i certainly welcome your questions. with respect to her brilliance, i think her articles reflect a deep appreciation of complex issues and an ability to break , down those complex issues in a manner people can understand. i would point you to her article entitled "supervisory power over the supreme court," where she discusses the supreme court's assumption of power to proscribe procedural and evidentiary rules in the 1950's over inferior courts, and how that is problematic given that congress , has occasionally granted the supreme court authority to impose rules on the lower courts. so it is an interesting time where she is basica

the aba has rated you as well qualified to serve as a supreme court justice. i appreciate that many times you have probably done this with a child in your arms, on your hip, or somewhere in tow, maybe waiting for a ballgame to begin. this as youe all of have been a friend, a mentor, a wife, and a mom. these are impressive qualifications by any standard, so it is no surprise that you are fielding attacks from other angles. many of my colleagues have wasted a lot of their time complaining about the process in an effort to delay and obstruct a legitimate, constitutionally sound confirmation hearing. let's not forget it was the democrats who took an acts to axe to in 2018 -- an process in 2018 they dropped unsubstantiated allegations against justice kavanaugh. we still do not have the full story about the level and coordination with activists and but weeam media outlets, know they turned that confirmation into a circus. on that note, it is hard to take seriously their complaints about moving too quickly. we have heard about the timeline for justice o'connor, 33 da

"the american bar association's standing committee on the federal judiciary has completed its evaluation of the professional qualifications of judge amy coney barrett. who has been nominated by the president to be an associate justice of the supreme court of the united states. as you know, the standing committee finds its evaluation to the qualities of integrity, professional context and judicial temperament. a substantial majority of the standing committee determined that judge barrett is well-qualified and are minority as of the that she is qualified to serve on the supreme court of the united states. the majority rating represents the standing committee's official rating." enter that into the record. now we have -- >> mr. chairman? could you explain what cdc compliant means? >> it means that the room is set up with social distancing regarding the virus that the architect of the capital measured the space and as to me, i was tested a week ago frid

qualifications with amy coney barrett has herself just received a well qualified rating from the liberal abaminee, and it's something that ginsburg during the kavanaugh hearing said we should be expecting. she was very bold saying the process was very broken, she didn't think it should be like that. and she was confirmed virtually unanimously. steve: and back in the day at her hearing, she was, you know, she was asked all sorts of questions, and she would simply and politely say, you know what? that's a hypothetical, i'm not going to answer that. whereas over the next four days, we expect that acb, as she's referred to now, is going to be asked about religion and abortion and health care because it's almost as if some of these senators have a litmus test on what is appropriate for a justice and how they should feel. >> yeah. and they're trying to set a different standard for barrett than they have for judges for the last hundred years. what ginsburg did wasn't new, there were dozens of questions she couldn't answer traces back to judicial ethics rule. and the senators maw want to know that q
