Change My Mind: Confirm Amy Coney Barrett, Part Two

Change My Mind: Confirm Amy Coney Barrett, Part Two
Tarah Price - October 14, 2020 at 02:09PM


A political science student, Kit, joined Steven at the Change My Mind table to discuss whether or not the Senate should confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

In this clip, in addition to interpreting the law, Kit argued the Supreme Court should represent America's viewpoints and cultures. Packing the court, he believed, was the best way to achieve fair representation.

Crowder explained that it is the Supreme Court's job to interpret the law. The Supreme Court is not democratically elected. The president has the right to nominate, and the Senate has the right to confirm. The public does not have the right to vote on the confirmation of a new Supreme Court justice.

"I've noticed a pattern today ... you don't have a constitutional or legal argument for why the Senate should not confirm Amy Coney Barrett," Crowder said. "You just don't like it."

Watch the video to hear Kit's "interesting" take on the Supreme Court's role and intent.
