Judge Barrett says she would listen to both sides if she hears a case challenging Roe v. Wade.
In response to a question from Graham about Brown v. Board of Education, Barrett said that she considers it a"superprecedent."
Barrett said that a superprecedent is"a precedent that is so well established that it would be unthinkable that it would ever be overruled." She said that there would have to be a case and a controversy for the Supreme Court to revisit the landmark 1954 decision.Graham begins his round of questioning by bashing ObamacareSen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., chairman of the Judiciary Committee, began his time for questions by bashing Obamacare, as Democrats have warned that Barrett's confirmation would result in the reversal of the health care law.
“All of you want to impose Obamacare in South Carolina — we don’t want it,” Graham said."We want South Carolina-care, not Obamacare." Graham, who faces a competitive re-election race against Democrat Jaime Harrison, said that if it were up to him, he would"block grant this money, send it back to the states and in a more fair allocation."Graham then asked Barrett what she means to be an originalist.
