Just had a thought...

So what do you think would happen if the Democrats on the Judicial Committee demanded to speak to Barrett's husband at her hearings? She was raised in "People of Praise" (her father was a deacon), and they can try to dress it up all they want, and change the terminology, but they're still a cult that suppresses women. Since the men in the group makes all decisions, we need to know what the real decision maker thinks.

why is she a judge deciding on weighty matters? Or working at all?

Does she ask for her husband's guidance on judicial decisions?
