If I were on the Senate Judiciary committee, I’d ask Judge Barrett:
Q: Was there communication between you and the White House prior to your Rose Garden introduction ceremony regarding whether you, your spouse and children would wear masks, and, if so, what was it?
She either says there was no communication, or she says there was and she’s not disclosing what it was, or she says there was communication and she was told not to wear a mask, or there was communication and she was told it was up to her.
If she says there was no communication, or that there was communication and it was left up to her, then I’d ask:
Q: So, it was your own judgment that neither you nor your family would wear masks, despite the pandemic, despite the fact that several hundred people would gather maskless in close quarters?
She’d have to say yes.
Q: What sort of level headed judgment does that show for someone who has been nominated to the S. Ct.?
If she says there was communication, but she’s not disclosing what it was, then I’d ask:
Q: If there was communication, and you were asked not to wear a mask doesn’t that suggest that you will defer to President Trump’s bidding in other respects?
Q: If there was communication, couldn’t you have said to the President, “My choice for myself and my family would be to wear a mask?”
Q: You have praised the late Justice Ginsburg as a role model. Wouldn’t wearing a mask be a good role model for citizens of the US....If they see a high government official wearing a mask, wouldn’t that tell them that it is a good idea to do so?
Q: Most if not all states require parents to secure their children in motor vehicles with seat belts or appropriate child safety devices. The government requires this to protect these children.
Isn’t putting a mask on a child who is going to be at an event with a hundred or more people, not wearing masks, sitting close together, a lot like wearing a seatbelt?
But, I'm not on that committee.
