After a short break, the hearing resumed around 12:20 p.m.

Here’s the breakdown for the rest of the day:

The remaining six senators on the committee who have not spoken will deliver their 10-minute opening statements. Then, Judge Barretts’ two home state senators, Republican Sens. Mike Braun and Todd Young of Indiana, and the former dean of Notre Dame Law School who hired her, Patricia O'Hara, will have five minutes each to introduce her.

Finally, Graham will swear Barrett in, and she will deliver her opening statement to the committee.

As he boarded his plane to Ohio this morning, former Vice President Joe Biden was asked whether Democrats should raise Barrett’s faith in her confirmation hearings.

“No, her faith should not be considered,” Biden, also a practicing Catholic, told reporters.

"This nominee said she wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, the president wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act,” Biden said.

“Let's keep our eye on the ball. This is about whether or not in one -- less than one month, Americans are going to lose their health insurance,” Biden said.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said he was “deeply concerned” that the Supreme Court is losing the trust of the American people. He called on Barrett to recuse herself from any election-related cases as the president sows doubts in the results of the election alongside her confirmation process.

“Now President Trump and the Republican senators are eroding and indeed destroying that legitimacy,” Blumenthal said, speaking of the court.

“Your participation in any case involving Donald Trump's election would immediately do explosive, enduring harm to the court's legitimacy and to your own credibility. You must recuse yourself,” Blumenthal continued. “The American people are afraid and they are and for good reason. It is a break-the-glass moment.”

He had noted earlier that Barrett had “auditioned'' for the job through her academic writings and judicial opinions that suggest she would have voted to strike down the Affordable Care Act had she been a justice at the time.

Blumenthal also made clear he will oppose her nomination which he sees as being “about the Republican goal of repealing the Affordable Care Act, the Obamacare they seem to detest so much.”

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who made President Trump’s Supreme Court shortlist of potential nominees himself, used his opening statement to define “a pattern and practice of religious bigotry” he said Democratic members of the committee have shown against Barrett.

"This freedom of conscience and religious liberty underscores all of our other rights because it tells the government that it cannot tell us what to think or who we can assembly with or how we can worship or what we can say,” Hawley said. “This bedrock principle of American liberty is now under attack.”

Hawley deemed stories attacking Judge Barrett's faith "an attempt to bring back the veto power of the powerful over the religious beliefs and sincerely held convictions of the American people.”

He suggested a public official’s freedom of religion is at stake in the confirmation hearing.

“Judge Barrett is a Catholic. We all know that... Heck, 65 million Americans are Catholics and many, many millions more are Christians of other persuasions. Are they to be told that they cannot serve in public office? That they are not welcome in the public here unless the members of this committee sign off on their religious beliefs?” Hawley said. “I don't want to live in such an America.”

“I hope when we look back at the confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Barrett -- soon I hope to be Justice Amy Barrett -- one thing I hope we say is that was the year that the attempt to bring back religious test for office was finally stopped,” Hawley concluded.

He did not mention Trump has repeatedly attacked the faith of his political rivals.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., focused her remarks on the rhetoric around Barrett as a woman and mother, questioning why her Democratic colleagues aren’t more supportive of someone she called a “successful female legal superstar.”

“Given your track record, you would think that my colleagues would jump at the opportunity to support a successful female legal superstar, who is highly regarded by both her Democratic and Republican colleagues, and who is a working mom. But as today's increasingly paternalistic and frankly disrespectful arguments have shown, if they had it their way, only certain kinds of women would be allowed into this hearing room," Blackburn said.

“On that note, not so long ago in another hearing they scrutinized your commitment to your Catholic faith and tried to use that as a way to question your competency and your professionalism,” Blackburn said, referring to Judge Barrett’s confirmation hearing to a federal appeals court in 2017, though Barrett's faith has not yet been raised by Democrats in her Supreme Court nomination.

Blackburn, as several of her GOP colleagues before her had done, raised the Justice Kavanaugh hearings and deemed the sexual assault allegation against Kavanaugh another effort “to delay and obstruct legitimate constitutionally sound confirmation hearing.”

“Let's not forget it was the Democrats who took an axe to the process in 2018 when they dropped last-minute, unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Justice Kavanaugh. We still don't have the full story about their level and manner of coordination with activists and mainstream media outlets, but what we do know is that they turned that confirmation into a circus.”
