Maybe I'm too sympathetic toward people who are put on the spot like that, but one time a smart-alack reporter asked Albert Einstein how many feet were in a mile. Einstein's reply was (from memory), "Why should I fill my head with things I can easily look up?" That might be an urban legend, but I think it makes a good point.
Now, if the senator had asked Barrett what SCOTUS meant, and she didn't know, THEN I'd be concerned.
Another excellent point.
Especially under the pressure of having to discern underhanded attacks from the left.
