Mary Vought on Religion and Confirmation Hearings

Today's Daily Signal Podcast features an interview from the great “Problematic Women” podcast. As Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett prepares for Senate hearings next week, many are wondering whether she’ll again face harsh questions about her Catholic faith. Mary Vought, executive director of the Senate Conservatives Fund and wife of Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, joins us to explain why this line of questioning is unconstitutional. Her husband, she recalls, faced similar scrutiny in his own Senate confirmation hearing. We also cover these stories: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is speaking out against attacks on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. President Donald Trump says he no longer feels any symptoms of COVID, according to his doctor, Sean Conley. Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer who knelt on George Floyd’s neck, has been released from jail after posting a million dollar bail. Hosted on Acast.
