Hesburgh Lecture 2016: Professor Amy Barrett at the JU Public Policy Institute

November 3, 2016.

Here to see how she actually is, not any current media bias on how she is.

[gwensosa]

The court shouldn’t be left or right. They are to follow the law the way it is intended.

Who else is here after ACB got confirmed?

[ahokie]

Instead of a confirmation hearing if Barret gets the nomination from Trump, I suggest Congress just watch this video. At least she had no agenda when she spoke at this conference. Judge Barret seems to have a great knowledge of the law and the history of the Court.

Who's here after she was confirmed?

Amy in 2016: What would we have in a Trump court? Who knows?! *laughter*
Me in 2020:

“Who knows whom Trump would nominate”

Little did she know, she would be at the center of the whirlwind happening in DC now

[LisaBiskup]

It’s good to see so many people doing their own research by watching this interview. 👍🏻

[ChipEichelberger]

I watched the entire interview. She is genuine, clear on how judges should apply the law and obviously brilliant. She has a grasp of the history of the Supreme Court and how it has changed over the years. What a great Justice she will make. When you research her history and family you get the full picture of how amazing she is.

Who else here after she got nominated?

[ThatLucasGuy]

Years after Pam Beesly quit at Dunder Mifflin, she applied to law school.

[douglasdearden]

So impressed how she speaks to be understood -- not speaking down to anyone, just making sure she's using common terminology. (I'm on the dull side and understood her perfectly.)

[jfkpatriot]

watching this nearly 4 years later and Judge Barrett is up for consideration for SCOTUS. Good Luck, Judge Barrett!

[lordofthewoods]

I've tried to find the "Ruth Bader Ginsburg Dying Wish" clause in the Constitution, to no avail... anybody?

[hudavid]

I haven’t had any professor who talks so clearly and succinctly and fluently and accurately as she does, and without notes!

[Andrew-epkw]

35:10 Professor Barret's point about the allure of seeking judicial change vs legislative change is especially important now, when Congress is getting increasingly calcified. A strong argument to restore a functional Congress is that if we don't, the judicial branch will be drafted into lawmakers, and that would be a very bad thing.

[judysum]

She sounds really coherent and smart, would make a great supreme court judge.

[referenceindividual]

What are the chances that while giving this speech, she would have imagined that she would be the one to replace Ginsburg in the Supreme Court?

[TiffanyT-LaDolceVita]

26:24 is where she states the facts that the main stream media will never ever say. SCOTUS should never be appointed due to their political views, but views of the law. Not quoting her, but paraphrasing. She is amazing.

ACB: “who knows who Trump will pick?”
Life is funny like that.
