Judge Amy Coney Barrett delivered her first remarks in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday and vowed to interpret laws “as they are written.”

“I have been nominated to fill Justice Ginsburg’s seat, but no one will ever take her place,” Barrett told the Judiciary Committee. It came after committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) swore in Barrett to speak in front of the panel.
