do you accept that Cove in 19 is infectious?

Um, I think, Yes, I do accept that Cove in 19 is infectious.

That that's something of which I feel like, you know, we could say you take judicial notice of It's an obvious fact, Yes.

Do you accept that smoking causes cancer?

I'm not sure exactly where you're going with this, but you know the notice that smoking question question is what it is.

Every package of cigarettes warns that smoking causes cancer.

And do you believe that climate change is happening and it's threatening on the air we breathe and the water we drink?

Um, Senator again, I was wondering where you were going with that.

Um, you have asked me a series of questions like that are completely uncontroversial.

Like whether Kobe, 19 is infectious, whether smoking causes cancer and then trying to analogize that to eliciting an opinion on me, that is a very contentious matter opinion from me that is on a very contentious matter of public debate.

It will not express a view on a matter of public policy, especially one that is politically controversial, because that's inconsistent with the judicial role.

 As I have explained, Thank you, thank you, Judge Barrett, and you've made your point clear that you believe it's a debatable point.
