32:36Now PlayingSen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the second day of her Senate Judiciary Committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Blumenthal asked Barrett about a letter featured in a newspaper she signed in 2006 that opposed abortion and called for “the right to life from fertilization to natural death.” "I didn't have any recollection of that letter. I signed it almost 15 years ago quickly on my way out of church," Barrett said when asked whether she disclosed the existence of the letter during her nomination process to the 7th Circuit court. Barrett said she signed on to the letter based on personal religious beliefs, but it would not be appropriate to express a personal opinion about the landmark Roe v. Wade decision as a judge. The Oct. 13 hearing comes three weeks before Election Day. The second of four days of scheduled testimony gave senators an opportunity to ask Barrett about her record and approach to the law.
