Can you really improve all aspects of your life if you are somewhat intoxicated with alcohol most of the time ?

After Barrett sidestepped , Feinstein told her that `` it 's distressing not to get a straight answer . ''

Amy Coney Barrett was tight lipped on many issues during her Senate confirmation hearing today - but perhaps most startling was her refusal to be drawn on the peaceful transfer of power
Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee has refused to say Presidents should commit to a peaceful transfer of power.
Judge Amy Coney Barrett avoided a string of questions during her Senate confirmation hearing today.
But Democrat Senator Cory Booker was left stunned when she declined to answer his questions on Presidents peacefully leaving office.
If confirmed before the election, Judge Barrett could prove pivotal to legal challenges to the outcome of the November poll.
President Trump has repeatedly refused to commit to accepting the result of the election - or to refraining from claiming victory before all votes are counted.
Senator Booker asked: "Do you believe that every president should make a commitment, unequivocally and resolutely to the peaceful transfer of power."
Judge Barrett replied: "Well, Senator, that seems to me to be pulling me in a little bit to this question of whether the president has said that he would not peacefully leave office.
To the extent that this is a controversy right now, as a judge, I want to stay out of it and I don't want to express a view."
Senator Booker said: "It's remarkable that we're in a place right now where this is becoming a question and a topic, but I'm asking you in light of our founding fathers, in light of our traditions, in light that everyone serving in that office has sworn an oath that they are there to "defend and preserve and protect the constitution of the United States", I'm asking whether a president should commit themselves, like the founding fathers intended, like the grace that George Washington showed, to the peaceful transfer of power."
Judge Barrett replied: "One of the beauties of America from the beginning of the republic is that we have had peaceful transfers of power. And that disappointed voters have accepted the new leaders who have come into office and that's not true in every country.
"And I think it's part of the genius of our constitution and the faith and goodwill of the American people that we haven't had the situations that have arisen in so many other countries where those issues have been present."
Barrett also opted not to say whether she would step aside from taking part in a major Obamacare case to be argued on Nov. 10 or in any disputes arising from the Nov. 3 election - as Democrats have requested - as she answered questions for the first time on day two of her Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing.

The marathon questioning gave the conservative U.S. appellate judge a chance to respond to Democrats who oppose her because they fear she will cast a decisive vote in striking down the 2010 healthcare law formally called the Affordable Care Act and its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
"I am not here on a mission to destroy the Affordable Care Act," Barrett said. "I'm just here to apply the law and adhere to the rule of law."
And she refused to be drawn on the issue of abortion.
Abortion rights advocates fear Barrett would vote to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. Asked about the ruling, Barrett said she would consider the usual factors on whether to overturn a precedent.
"Judges can't just wake up one day and say, 'I have an agenda, I like guns, I hate guns, I like abortion, I hate abortion,' and walk in like a royal queen and impose, you know, their will on the world," Barrett said.
But Barrett indicated Roe v. Wade was not a "super-precedent" that could never potentially be overturned.
"I'm answering a lot of questions about Roe, which I think indicates Roe does not fall in that category. Scholars across the spectrum say that doesn't mean that Roe should be overruled, but descriptively it does mean it is not a case that everyone has accepted," Barrett said.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, the panel's top Democrat, asked Barrett whether she agreed with her mentor, the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and should be overturned.
