Amy Coney Barrett live updates: Day 2 of Senate confirmation hearings“Given that I have two black children, that was very, very personal for my family.” Amy Coney Barrett says conversations with her family following the killing of George Floyd have been difficult, “like it is for Americans all over the country.” So Barrett is good with locking up kids in cages then ... Barrett is disqualified & we don’t want her in the bedrooms of the nation either! There is a reason for separation of state and religion in our constitution, it’s NONE of your dam business! Scotus SenatorDurbin I'm a Democrat right now and I'm not having any problem at all with what she saying. I think she's being very honest and forthright in all of her answers. Then why were your children unmasked and why do they have to sit in these proceedings? They should be at home or school.
