US Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has evaded questions about her views on key issues on day two of her Senate confirmation hearing.
The conservative judge repeatedly refused to be drawn on abortion, healthcare and LGBTQ rights.
She stated she had "no agenda" and vowed to stick to "the rule of law".
If Judge Barrett passes the committee hearing, the full Senate will vote to confirm or reject her for a lifelong place on the top US court.
Republicans want the confirmation ahead of the presidential election on 3 November. It would give the nine-member court a 6-3 conservative majority, altering the ideological balance of the court for potentially decades to come.
Democrats fear Judge Barrett's successful nomination would favour Republicans in politically sensitive cases that reach the Supreme Court.
She is the proposed replacement for liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last month aged 87.

This whole hearing became Liberal campaign propaganda and a show of the Lefts unabashed contempt for this judge. Their multiple attempts at drawing her into murky waters was like watching a bunch of teenagers not being ale to rise to maturity and acceptance of not getting their way. Darn! They lost the election and now they lost their chance to mess with and politicize the SCOTUS!

Would you expect her to do anything less? She has made it abundantly clear that she cannot speak to anything that may come before the court. To do so may suggest that she leans one way or another to litigants. She made it perfectly clear that in her family they don't have the First Amendment. They have the Amy Amendment and what mom says goes. They also prefer their Chinchilla over warm puppies.
What I'm getting at is there's more to posting a snappy MSM talking point than actually watching the hearings and listening to the Democrats beat up on her time and again. As was analogize by Greg Gutfeld, when you are in line at the airport for a search by TSA, it doesn't matter if you're a 90 year old lady. You are still going to get searched and then on the plane. The same thing is going to happen to the Honorable Judge Barrett. She will be confirmed making these BS questions from small people that cannot rise to her stature even more comical.
