Kamala Harris, talking about the history of flatly discriminatory treatment of black voters, unintentionally makes the case for an originalist interpretation of the 14th & 15th Amendments, without fear or favor, which the Court failed to apply for many years.
Barrett corrects Harris' claim that the Court
in Shelby County struck down Section 5's preclearance rule, as opposed to telling Congress that it had to cite some evidence to decide what jurisdictions were covered.

Harris rather obviously is framing these questions specifically to get Barrett to not answer them.
Harris now wants judges to arbitrate questions of climate science.
Barrett points out that Harris is trying to leap from an uncontroversial to a controversial point.
