No one can accuse Amy Coney Barrett of grandstanding. President Donald Trump’s nominee to the US Supreme Court has been quizzed in Senate hearings this week, but to little effect. On climate change (“I don’t think I am competent to opine”), voting by mail (“I can’t express a view”) and the constitutionality of Obamacare (“I’m just here to apply the law”), the judge and scholar is discreet to a fault. Democratic senators scold her reluctance to be drawn on the big issues.
沒有人可以指責埃米?科尼?巴雷特(Amy Coney Barrett)愛出風頭。本周,這位被唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)總統提名的美國最高法院大法官候選人在參議院聽證會上接受了質詢,但她滴水不漏。在氣候變化(“我不認為我有能力發表意見”)、郵寄投票(“我無法表達觀點”)和奧巴馬醫改的合憲性(“我在這個位置上只是應用法律”)等問題上,這位法官兼學者謹慎到了極點。民主黨參議員指責她不愿在重大問題上發表意見。
