      Ben Sasse defends Barrett's religion: "As somebody who's self-consciously a Christian, we got a whole bunch of really weird beliefs. Forgiveness of sins, the virgin birth, resurrection from death, eternal life. A whole bunch of really, really crazy ideas that are a lot weirder.."

      Richard Blumenthal says conservatives who picked Amy Coney Barrett "want an activist judge — they want someone who will legislate from the bench and strike down laws supported by a vast majority of the American people." "And that activism uses originalism as a smoke screen."

      Richard Blumenthal to Amy Coney Barrett: "Your participation, let me be very blunt, in any case involving Donald Trump's election would immediately do explosive enduring harm to the Court's legitimacy and to your own credibility. You must recuse yourself."

      Joni Ernst is up, focusing her speech heavily on religion, saying Amy Coney Barrett's opponents keep "attacking your faith and your precious family... attacking you as a mom and a woman of faith." (Only Republicans have brought up her Catholicism at this hearing.)

          Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Ruth Bader Ginsburg: "She was indeed a role model for many because she fought to open more doors for women in the law and beyond. And I sincerely hope that I am as effective an advocate in the Senate as she was in the Court."
