Welcome to the Colson Center Podcast Network.

This is Breakpoint this week, a weekly briefing on faith, culture, worldview, and mission with John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center for Christian World View.

Welcome to Break Point this week. I'm Shane Morris, and I'm here with John Stone Street to talk about the stories of the week from a Christian worldview perspective. Follow the stories that we're talking about here on the show

by visiting breakpoint.org where you'll find commentaries and resources every day to help you live

and think like a Christian in today's culture. John, you may be old enough to recall a time before

judicial confirmation hearings became a spectator sport.

That's the story I really want to start with today because there's definitely a highlights reel out of the Amy Coney-Barrant confirmation hearings.

And, you know, my favorite, I think, was when she was asked whether she's taking notes or working off of notes and she holds up the blank Senate notepad that they gave her at the beginning.

And it just kind of smiles.

And the best meme I saw off of that one was it said, no surprise.

You know, she's a mother of seven.

She's used to answering dumb questions all day long.

Well, the highlight actually came from the Babylon B,

which means it's not fully true,

but it was by far the most descriptive where essentially Amy Coney-Barritt definitely answers

democratic questions while cooking dinner for seven, or for nine, and they have her chopping

onions there at the confirmation hearing table, which you know, you can kind of,

in fact, I actually told my daughter that one and she's like, did that really happen?

And I was like, you know, part of it was her naivety, but part of it is she had watched enough

of it to know she probably could pull this off. You know, she probably could be making a casserole

while she's nailing this confirmation hearing.

I don't know. There was something endearing an American even about that.
