President Donald Trump‘s Supreme Court nominee was asked to share the notes that she was referring to while taking senators’ questions during her confirmation hearing in the Senate this week.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) noted during Tuesday’s confirmation hearing that the senators have multiple notebooks and books in front of them. He then asked Judge Amy Coney Barrett, “Can you hold up what you’ve been referring to when answering our questions?”
Barrett then held up a blank notepad.
Asked if there is anything on it, Barrett answered, “The letterhead that says, ‘United States Senate.'”
“That’s impressive,” Cornyn responded.
Watch the video below:
During Tuesday’s hearing, Barrett was asked about Trump’s previous suggestion of delaying the upcoming presidential election and if the Constitution gives “the President of the United States the authority to unilaterally delay a general election under any circumstances,” as Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) asked.
