I Didn't Know Amy Coney Barrett Was A Spellfag! I'm in great company!! So proud. Spellfag here. Reading Amy Coney Barrett's opening statement and I noticed when she was speaking of her admirable parents, she noted her father's encouraging words that propelled her to victory in her childhood spelling bee. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/10/11/read-judge-amy-coney-barretts-opening-statement-ahead-of-her-supreme-court-confirmation-hearing/ "My father was a lawyer and my mother was a teacher, which explains how I ended up as a law professor. More important, my parents modeled for me and my six siblings a life of service, principle, faith, and love. I remember preparing for a grade-school spelling bee against a boy in my class. To boost my confidence, Dad sang, “Anything boys can do, girls can do better.” At least as I remember it, I spelled my way to victory." That, I'm sure, serves her well as she writes her opinions on the supreme court. So proud of my fellow Spellfag. Oh yeah, and in her legal career she worked for Baker Botts.  Baker Botts?  Hmmm.  I wonder what her favorite letter is. https://www.law360.com/articles/1315431/how-amy-coney-barrett-describes-her-legal-career
