Amy Coney Barrett handled Supreme Court confirmation hearing with grace and poise, experts say
President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett withstood hours of questioning Tuesday with poise, civility and, at times, moments of humanity – countering the portrait of a right-wing extremist that Democrats have attempted to paint of her, experts argued.
President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett withstood hours of questioning Tuesday with poise, civility and, at times, moments of humanity – countering the portrait of a right-wing extremist that Democrats have attempted to paint of her, experts argued.
Barrett's professional responses and pleasant demeanor before the Senate Judiciary Committee have undercut the narrative pushed by Democrats that she is threatening or radical, said Jeffrey McCall, a professor of communication at DePauw University.
"Judge Barrett has had a most impressive day," McCall told Fox News. "It is clear she is bright and sincere. Her poise and pleasant personality make her a natural for the television cameras, which will also make it increasingly difficult for her opponents on the committee to trash her without themselves coming off as uncivil."
Barrett, 48, responded to scholarly legal questions with ease and did so without hesitation. She didn’t bring any files to the hearing and at one point held up a blank pad of paper to reveal she wasn’t relying on any notes at all.
Through hours of answrs, the even-keeled Barrett sought to reassure senators and the American public she would dispatch justice fairly and independently and she’d come to each case without any political agenda. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
