I'd also like to thank CSPAN for providing full and fair coverage not only to this but other proceedings as well. This is one of few reputable news stations that still maintains a high level of integrity, so thank you for being a great resource and for setting the standard for other stations to follow.

This woman is absolutely amazing!!! Straight up badass!

[jessical]

ACB will be confirmed period. Not even one person who tried to manipulate her succeeded. She was almost flawless and outsmarted everyone. We need a solid judge in our supreme court like her

[kobemaga]

Richard Blumenthal  would not needs to keep forcing Amy Coney Barrett with a "Yes or No" answer with the question like that. Amy Coney Barrett was so smart to not answer any of those questions. It was a trap.

[joeweisbrod]

I would have loved to see acb argue in court versus Kamala.

[skdietschXOXO]

I am loving this process as far as the opportunity to learn about the law and procedure from an extremely knowledgeable legal mind!!

[mistysierra]

So incredibly grateful to have her on the Court. What a rock solid woman. Thank you C-SPAN.

[NicolePark]

Hirono clearly has no interest in the truth and the interpretation of law. She’s just making crap up as she goes along. So gross.

[joyaustin]

I’m a 44 year old black woman that knows nothing about law...but this lady appears to know the law. I believe she’s the real deal. So good to see someone godly be educated also 💫. My heart weeped at the treatment this lady received and the ungodliness of this country, couldn’t bear to watch today...so glad she’s perserving 🏃‍♀️

[kobemaga]

Amy Coney Barrett is incredibly. The US must have her on the Supreme Court

[Tadhakes]

Thank you C-Span for this venue for the American people to see these proceedings in their full context without opinions. I am a proud American and proud Tennessean. Thank you Senator Marsha Blackburn for always standing up for what is right and good for all Americans! Judge Amy Coney Barrett, you are so impressive and I will be proud for you to represent American interests in our Supreme court. Thank you for your service.

[sochivydy]

Hirono sounds like she’s reading an essay someone else wrote.

[pmartbrown]

I enjoy cspan so I don’t need to listen to a pundit spin or filter the facts. Didn’t need the pundit opinions during the mic 🎤 delay. Keep your opinions to yourself please.

[roberthodges]

Booker: “there’s a lot of fear” Sure, there is fear....because you fueled that fear

[greenhammer]

How does Barrett's husband ever win an argument with her?

[mvita]

Thank you C-span for Providing a way to listen to this uninterrupted!

[Krugnuggets]

Man, Ted Cruz has been killing it lately. Only being outshined by this very intelligent SCOTUS nominee.

[tritchie]

Durbin is really getting on my nerves.

[alexleshchinsky]

Sen Durbin should be investigated for his activities
