Sotomayor asked Baxter if he needed to be exposed to same -sex relationships in children’s books like the one that should be considered “coercion”.
Baxter began to respond when Alito came in.
“I read that book like many other books,” Alito said. “Do you think it is fair to say that everything that is done is at the” wedding of Uncle Bobby “to expose the children to the fact that there are men who get married with other men?”
After Baxter complained, Alito noted that the book “Has a Clear Message”, but she is that some individuals with “traditional religious beliefs I disagree with. “
Sotomayor jumped into parts through Alit’s complaint: “What a minute, a reservation -“
“Can I finish?” Alito said Sotomayor was rarely frustration.
He continued, “He has a clear moral message and maybe it’s a good message. It’s just a message that many religious people don’t agree with.”

“Ok, well, should be more cautious in the wrong characterization of an experienced advocate Supreme Courtwith all due respect, “Blatt replied.
A few minutes later, Gorsuch re -charged, “Mrs. Blatt, I admit that it is still bothering me with your proposal that your friends on the other hand lied to me.”
“I would ask you to reconsider that phrase,” he said. “You can accuse people of being incorrect, but lying, lying is another thing.”

“I’m not done,” Gorsuch Blatta said, raising his voice.
“Good,” she replied.
