All right, everybody we had a listener Q&A episode planned, but we have to put that on hold because we've just scored the

Interview of a lifetime frankly. This is huge very excited Amy Coney Barrett supreme court nominee and likely the next justice on the court is on the line

Judge Barrett welcome to the show

Thank you very much, and I am so grateful for your kindness on this rather overwhelming occasion

Yeah

Sure, so first of all congratulations. How are you doing the president has nominated me to serve on the United States Supreme Court?

Yeah, okay, we wanted to start by getting a sense of what your philosophy on interpreting the Constitution is how would you describe it?

I love the United States and I love the United States Constitution

Right right, okay

You'll be replacing justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the court. It was just some pretty big shoes to fill

Are there any lessons that you take from her career?

Particularly pregnant to me

What's her long and deep friendship with justice and I'm sorry

I don't mean to cut you off, but did you just say poignant?

Pognant. Are you trying to say poignant?

Poignant

Poignant the the G sound is sort of old French so it's it's poignant

Pognant

Okay, it feels like we're kind of hitting a wall here. I think we should probably just end this interview unless

Rear Michael do you you have any questions?

No, no, okay. Well, thanks. Thanks for coming on judge Barrett and good luck at the hearings
