During the third day of Supreme Court hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, Democrat Senator Chris Coons continued to imply she is incapable of thinking for herself and controlled by the opinions of her mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Judge Barrett was having none of it.

"I hope you aren't suggesting I don't have my own mind, that I couldn't think independently or I would just decide 'let me see what Justice Scalia said about this in the past.' I assure you I have my own mind. Everything that he said is not necessarily what I agree with or what I would do as Justice Barrett. That was Justice Scalia. So I share his philosophy but I have never said I would reach the same outcome as he did," Barrett said. 

Republican Senators also took notice of Coon's tactics.
