Random Senator: Judge Barrett, can we agree that the sky is blue?
Judge Barrett: Senator, I’m not going to express an opinion on something that could possibly come before the court. If that issue comes before the court I will read the briefs, listen to my colleagues and my clerks and my own understanding of the Constitution in order to come to a decision. It would not be proper for me to opine on an issue that may become contentious in the future as that is inconsistent with my role.
