Judge Amy Coney Barrett was questioned by lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wed., Oct. 14, 2020– the third day of her Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Barrett was questioned about her positions on the Voting Rights Act, same-sex marriage rulings on the Supreme Court and whether her personal conservative values could have a bearing on her rulings if she were to be voted into the high court. When asked specifically about her legal position regarding judicial decisions on a range of “cases including Obergefell v. Hodges, which upheld marriage equality, Barrett said that “whether a case was correctly decided or not, I cannot answer that question because I cannot suggest agreement or disagreement with precedents of the Supreme Court.” Democratic senators made their case that the Supreme Court nomination, just weeks before Election Day, is not appropriate. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. Questioned Barrett about the timing saying “the obvious question is: Why? What’s the hurry? Why couldn’t we wait until the end of November, or December or even January?” He added that the “orange cloud” hanging over Barrett’s nomination is President Donald Trump’s desire to fill the vacancy with a justice who might vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act when the court hears a challenge to the ACA on Nov. 10. Barrett was also repeatedly questioned about whether she believes anyone—including the president—is above the law. “No one is above the law in the United States,” Barrett said, in the video “WATCH: Highlights from Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing- Day 3“, below: Senators continue to question Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett on issues such as the Affordable Care Act and voting rights, in the video “SCOTUS confirmation hearings: Day 3 highlights“, below: Senator Cory Booker, D-N.J., questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Oct. 14, the third day of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing. The hearing came about three weeks before Election Day.

John Kennedy, R-La., questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Oct. 14, the third day of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing.

John Kennedy questions Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett“, below: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Oct. 14, the third day of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Whitehouse asked Barrett her thoughts on Supreme Court justices being subject to less rigorous ethics standards, such as the disclosure of financial records, than lower court federal judges. Barrett said she was not aware of that difference, and was “surprised” to learn that the disclosure requirements are less rigorous for Supreme Court justices. The hearing came about three weeks before Election Day. The third of four days of scheduled testimony gave senators another opportunity to ask Barrett about her record and approach to the law, in the video “WATCH: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse questions Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett“, below: It was stunning and disturbing to find out that the standard/requirement for financial or gift disclosure for higher court is lower than that of the lower court, a definite sign of enabling corruptions at the higher court. Hopefully Senator Whitehouse and various legislators will soon correct this problem.
