Breonna taylors boyfriend. It was very tough, very emotional conversation. For the first time, he takes us through the heartbreaking details from the night that breonna was killed. Guys this is an interview that he never hoped to give. He certainly never wanted to be talking to me or anybody else in the media about this. And when you think about his life, its been seven months for the world but it is every day to him feels like march 13th. Yeah. I can only imagine. I think youll hear things that you never heard before, how he processed it and why he did some of the things he did. Thats coming up. We begin with this this morning. Senators get one last chance to question Supreme Court nominee Amy Comey Barrett in a marathon confirmation hearing yesterday, Senate Judiciary Committee Members grilled the Appeals Court judge for nearly 12 hours. Like other recent nominees, barrett did not discuss how she would decide cases on the high court. She repeatedly told the committee she that no policy agenda an did not want to be used as a pawn. Nancy cordis is covering the barrett hearings. Nancy, good morning. Reporter anthony, today senators on the committee get 20 minutes each to follow up on questions they feel were not answered yesterday. Which as far as democrats are concerned covers a lot of territory. But republicans like the fact that barrett is being cautious. They think barring some major stumble today victory is in sight. I have made no pre commitments to anyone about how i would decide a case. Reporter barrett insisted tuesday she does not have it out for obamacare. Im not here on a mission to destroy the Affordable Care act. Reporter but democrat Vice President nominee Kamala Harris argued barretts past criticisms, including a 2017 article suggest otherwise. How many months after you published that article did President Trump nominate you to be a judge on the court of appeals . I believe my nomination to the court of appeals was announced in may of 2017. Thats correct. But i dont remember when the article came out. The article was published in january of 2017. So that would have been five months later. Reporter a hearing for a Supreme Court justice has never been held this close to a president ial election. Will you commit to recusing yourself from any case arising from a dispute in the president ial Election Results three weeks from now . I certainly hope that all members of the committee have more confidence in my integrity than to think that i would allow myself to be used as a pawn to decide this election. Democrats tried unsuccessfully tuesday to pin barrett down on issues like abortion. Are you willing the say that roe was correctly decided . Its inconsistent with the duties of a sitting judge to take positions on cases that the court has decided in the past. Reporter Louisiana Republican john kennedy arg you gooed that judges personal views are irrelevant because they take an oath of impartiality anyway. Are you going to take that oath and affirm it if you are confirmed . Yes. You are not lying . Im not lying. I took that oath before i began as judge on the seventh circuit, and ive not violated that oath. And i would take it again. Oaths are serious to me. Reporter there were some tense moments after barrett declined to say whether she agreed with the courts decision leapizing samesex marriage. I do want to be clear that i have never discriminated on the basis of sexual performance. Reporter hawaii senator mzie hirono. Sexual preference is an offensive and outdated term. It is used by lgbtq activiststs to suggest that Sexual Orientation is a choice. I certainly didnt mean, and, you know, would never mean to use a term that would cause any offense in the lgbtq community. So if i did, i greatly apologize for that. Reporter at one point during the hearing judge barrett was asked to hold up the notes that she had in front of her, and you can see she held up a blank page which was meant to highlight the fact she was answering hours and hours of questions about detailed legal arguments without any notes at all. Tony. Blank page but not a blank mind, nancy. Thank you very much. Americans already showing their determination to have their votes counted with the election just 20 days away. We are looking at huge turnout and massive lines in places where early voting is an option. That includes texas and georgia.

Omar villafranca is at a polling location in dallas, texas. Omar, good morning to you. What are voters telling you. Reporter good morning. Some voters tell me they are voting early to watch the results on election day. And others felt so passionate they did not want to wait. In fact, one unty in texas had about the same amount of early voters as the whole state of georgia. On its fist day. Long lines greeted texans looking to vote early in the lone star state. This is probably the most important election ive ever been a part of, and i want to know that my vote is going to be counted. So i came out the first day. Why wait to last minute . I dont procrastinate. Reporter one reason for the long lines, roughly three million new voters have registered since the last president ial election. In Travis County where the city of austin is. Officials say 97 of eligible voters have registered compared with average of about 67 nationwide. In Harris County more than 128,000 voted early smashing the old record of 68,000. But a federal Appeals Court sided with republican Governor Greg Abbott to limit the number of dropoff locations to one per county. Abbott said it was needed for Election Security but Harris County judge hidalgo calls it voter expression. I dont see a legitimate reason. I think it is completely illogical. Youre my first call reporter famous faces like Oprah Winfrey and mavericks owner mark cuban were busy getting people to come out and vote. Come out and vote. Reporter at the state farm arena in atlanta almost 3,000 people voted early with lunchtime voters in and out in about 20 minutes. But elsewhere in georgia technical glitches and high turnout have led to some wait times of more than five hours. Cbs news election law expert david becker.
