Barrett Triggers Libs By Showing She Is Unbiased
Liberal Senators went after Barrett hoping to reveal that she had a deep-seated bias that would justify all of their unfounded anger towards her. But Barrett proved them all wrong when she let them know that she intends to be a fair Justice that is going to do her best not to bring her personal opinions/beliefs into cases. That must have mystified libs that Barrett could do something they all fail at regularly.
“Do you agree with Justice Scalia’s view that Roe [v. Wade] was wrongly decided?” Senator Feinstein asked.
“Senator, I do wanna be forthright and answer every question so far as I can. I think on that question, I’m gonna invoke Justice Elena Kagan’s description, which I think is perfectly put. When she was in her confirmation hearing, she said that she was not gonna grade precedent, give a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down. It would be wrong and a violation of the canons for me to do that as a sitting judge.”
“If I express a view on a precedent one way or another, whether I say I love it or I hate it, it signals to litigants that I might tilt one way or another in a pending case,” Barrett explained.
Feinstein tried again asking her as a person.
“My answer is the same … It’s a contentious issue. But I can’t express views on cases, or pre-commit to approaching a case any particular way.”

This is what we should all want in a Supreme Court Justice. Judges are not supposed to give broad answers on how they are intending to rule over future cases. Every case is different and needs to be treated as such. Liberals here were hoping she was going to express her conservative opinions and show off some bias. But she handled Feinstein like a champ.
