Question for Feinstein, how did your husband happen to get all those U.S. Post Office leases?

 Sen. Dianne Feinstein was allegedly recorded discussing Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s stance on abortion and her Catholic faith. 

“She’s been pro-life for a long time. So I suspect with her, it is deeply personal and comes with her religion,” a woman is heard saying Thursday during the fourth day of Barrett’s confirmation hearings. 

“Sen. Feinstein hot mic talking about Judge Amy Coney Barrett,” Faith Wire editor Tre Goins-Phillips tweeted, accompanied by footage of the exchange.

Barrett’s Catholic faith and membership of the Christian group People of Praise has been in the spotlight since headlines spread across the country, speculating on who President Trump would nominate to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 

Additionally, in 2017, after Barrett was appointed to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Feinstein suggested Barrett's faith could influence her jurisprudence. 

“Why is it that so many of us on this side have this very uncomfortable feeling that dogma and law are two different things? And I think whatever a religion is, it has its own dogma. The law is totally different,” Feinstein told Barrett. “And I think, in your case, professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. And that’s of concern.”

“You’re controversial because many of us that have lived our lives as women really recognize the value of

finally being able to control our reproductive systems,” she added. “And Roe entered into that, obviously.”

“There would be no opportunity for me to be a no vote on Roe,” Barrett responded. “And I would faithfully apply all Supreme Court precedent.”

"It's never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge's personal convictions, whether they arise from faith or anywhere else, on the law,” she continued.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on Barrett’s nomination on Oct. 22 at 1 p.m.
