I think Loeffler mimicked the style of Coney-Barrett.

Bland, singularly spoken to issues, and basically a blank slate. I think this phenomenon with Loeffler can be seen in Coney Barrett at 42:39 time mark after Graham speaks. They may even have had the same coach. But, I find Loeffler very much using the style of debate as Coney-Barrett did.

By providing a "blank slate" the public is then allowed to make her image as it pleases them. Coney-Barrett's public ratings went up a few points putting her over 51 percent in public opinion polls. It was after those polls that Senator Murkowski changed her vote.

The same process would work. In that case, there would be parties would have to sue the state arguing that, that law was unconstitutional. It would wind its way up, and if it got to the Supreme Court and if the Supreme Court decided to take it, a whole decision making process begins. You hear arguments from litigants on both sides. They write briefs. You talk to clerks as a judge. You talk to your colleagues. Then you write an opinion. Opinions circulate, and you get feedback from your colleagues. So it’s an entire process. It’s not something that a judge or justice would wake up and say, “Oh, we’re hearing this case. I know what my vote is going to be.”...

These exact words were repeated over and over in Coney-Barrett answers to Senate questions just like Loeffler's repeated mantra.
