Supreme Court nominees dont like to answer questions about how they feel about one issue or another. They want to at least appear impartial and convey that they will decide cases based entirely on the law. But Amy Coney Barretts stunning refusal in her Senate confirmation hearing to answer basic questions ones that have obvious, fact-based answers is also on display in her written responses to senators follow-up questions.

Late Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee released all 184 pages of Barretts responses to follow-up questions from senators on the panel. Again and again, President Donald Trump s Supreme Court pick dodged the same basic questions that dont require a biased opinion to answer, just an acceptance of science and data.

Barrett, who is currently a U.S. appeals court judge, raised eyebrows in her hearing when she refused to say whether climate change is real . Pressed on it by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) in his follow-up questions, Barrett said the Supreme Court has said climate change is controversial so she cant discuss it.
