No matter whether you support the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court or its timing, the question asked of her by U.S. Sen. John Neely Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, at the second day of her confirmation hearing was outrageous: "Who does your laundry?" That is a shocking question to ask a female candidate in the year 2020. Neither Justice Kavanaugh nor Justice Gorsuch were asked such questions at their confirmation hearings and, more to the point, Justice Scalia, the nominee's mentor, with nine children, was not asked that question. The senator's inquiry is reflective of his bias that women should be primarily responsible for household duties and, if not, clean clothes will be wanting. The only thing wanting is the senator's insight into a woman's role in the home and in the workplace in the 21st century.
