Over the weekend, Sam Berger of the Center for American Progress tried to make the claim that Republicans had packed federal courts with conservative nominees by confirming circuit court judges. Sen.

Prior to her service on the federal bench, Barrett was a law professor at Notre Dame Law School, where she received her law degree.
