WATCH: Judge Amy Coney Barrett apologizes for her earlier comments referring to sexual “preference” instead of orientation: “I certainly didn’t mean and would never mean to use a term that would cause any offense in the LGBTQ community.”

Graham announced the hearing will take a 20-minute recess.

"While my life experiences, I think, I hope have given me wisdom and compassion, they don't dictate how I decide cases," she said. The exchange was one of several she had this week related to her family.On Tuesday, Barrett discussed how when writing"an opinion resolving a case, I read every word from the perspective of the losing party," asking"how would I view the decision if one of my children was the party I was ruling against.

Given that background, Coons asked Barrett if she would"commit to recusing yourself from any case arising from a dispute in the presidential results coming three weeks from now?"

You've been ratioed. WatchRatio

So dumb. The advocate magazine used the same term themselves in their own magazine in 2020.....the leftists selective rage is funny.

So if a girl likes fat dudes is that a preference or orientation ?

This is the society we live in. Everyone is constantly apologizing and terrified of offending anyone of these so called 'oppressed' people. This isn't equality. This is supremacy

Disgusting cuckery

LGBTQanon - Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.

What if Honorable Amy Coney Barrett owned a Tesla. And suppose there was a case before the Supreme Court: Tesla vs. Ford. Would the Democrats feel if she owned a Tesla, she would be in bias and favor of Elon Musk? If words bear no adequate meaning and conclusion, we're lost.

Mistake

Her only flaw. Never appologize to virtue signalling bullies

LGBTQ is offensive and degroatory. By putting the letters in a specific order, it presumes that one identity takes precedence over another. We can play the offense game all day.

She is a coward. Who cares if it's a preference or not?

🙄 Never apologize. Someone is always offended. We’re making a mockery of the language.

Weak move.

Do people have a 'preference' to be offended, or is it offensive to imply they have a choice other than being triggered

Cringe. Just call it mental illness

All credit to those who beat me to the punch on this:

Never apologize to terrorists.

KamalaHarris we need less bitchin and more kitchen from you

What’s wrong with sexual preference? Is it the language police?

What she strongly believes, that it is a preference, came out of her mouth and she cannot take those words back. She is now being diplomatic. That's the justice you are going to get and she will vote to roll back a lot of stuff.

Such a ridiculous non issue. 99% of us don’t keep up with the latest list of woke-approved terms. It wasn’t until yesterday that most people learned it wasn’t the nicey nice thing to say.

things that come out of the mouth come from the heart (Matt. 15:18)

Everyone in the comments pretending their precious RBG and Biden haven't said this on multiple occasions

The LGBTQ is not a community worth apologizing to. Our laws do not need to pander to degenerates and we should bring back sodomy laws. Barrett should have told the Dems to fuck off.

She knew what she was saying. She showed her true colors! Period!!!

Gay

The Stepford Justice

no she had it right the first time. Its a preference. Its not some genetic thing.

Who cares about gays

Lol who the fuck cares, this is exactly why conservative judges are needed

If you are gay, you prefer your own sex over the opposite sex. It’s not a big deal. Stop looking to get your feelings hurt.

Not apologising, allowing for nihilists. 'Human sexuality refers to analogues. It is a desire to bring forth from within oneself or continue living in another, and so in human life this is conditioned by our sense of self and what human life consists in'

She was right. It's sexual preference.

Wow what a culture warrior. She’s a typical RINO

WHY? She shouldn't have had to apologize!

I like beer. Beer. And more beer.

Uh huh.....

Tell the community to grow up and stop being so damn sensitive. No one should have to apologize for using preference.

Yowza.. already making bad remarks

Knit picking news story yet again by the mentally ill left, nothing new here folks. Carry on......

but u did ! not good -- Your prejudice is so deep that you can't see it that's what these hearings are all about it should at least give Moscow Mitch heartburn ( cost is piece of flesh ibid Merchant of Venice)

And yet she did. She doesn't have enough experience to sit on the Supreme Court. Esp. when she made that mistake.

Then why did she Words matter!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Right, but you don't mind the the 'n' word?

So she doesn't understand the impact of words or how when used they reflect the thinking of the person taking?

In these circumstances one tends to subconsciously say what they mean even tho they dodge and weave on the surface. Do NOT believe her for one second.

It’s hard for normal people to keep up with the changes in word meanings among the mentally deranged left.

Love her ❤️❤️❤️

She knew what she was saying.

How stupid. Since when is that offensive

huh? dont bend to that bullsh** please. This is the era we live in.. ridiculous.

She knew exactly what she was saying. If she Truly misspoke, then she is not smart enough to be on the SCOTUS

Lie

It is, what it is.

She was great! Be sure to watch the entire 2 days...

Too late. The horse is already outta the barn, her feelings were made clear.

🐂💩

Being offended aside, Coney Barrett knows damn well the distinction she is making. 'Preferences' aren't required to be protected legally, no more than anyone's preference for chocolate ice cream. So when a case on LGBT rights is brought before the court, that's how she will rule.

Don’t believe her.

Oops another slip

Damn, so blatantly insincere, don't apologize if you're not sincere.

Reminds me too much of Sarah Palin. Just a soccer mom... not a demon coming to destroy our democracy.😡

Because they are offended by everything.

Sure sure

'I certainly didn't mean to let what a truly believe out early in the day'

I dont believe it for a second

What a joke of a headline. This woman is the epitome of strength and honor. What a role model! She should be held up on every news outlet as an example of what young women in this country should aspire to be instead of distracting the public with nonsense.

What about the Antifa Domestic Terrorist shooting the American VETERAN in DENVER? denvershooting VeteransForTrump veteranslivesmatter stopthehate media & Democrats! biasedmedia stopthelies media & Democrats!

Fact - ACB is by far the smartest and most humble person in the room..

Oh my, I would never do that.....NoSCOTUSVote NoBarrett LetThePeopleDecide

That’s not an apology

OMG. She is a very skilled liar. It’s unnerving.

This is all for show. She will be confirmed

Preference word for someone so educated, bad sign!
