Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will tell senators in her confirmation hearing this week that she will approach cases based on the law, not her personal views

WASHINGTON - U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will tell senators in her high-stakes confirmation hearing this week that she will approach cases based on the law, not her personal views, as Democrats urged her to step aside on an upcoming challenge to the Obamacare law and any potential election-related disputes.

Barrett, 48, said in the statement that it will be an “honor of a lifetime” to serve alongside the current eight justices and explained how she approaches cases. Democratic opposition to Barrett on policy issues has focused on her possible role in deciding a case before the Supreme Court in which Trump and Republican-led states are seeking to invalidate the Affordable Care Act healthcare law, often called Obamacare.

Barrett, who will appear in person, is scheduled to deliver her opening statement to the committee on Monday, with senators also making opening remarks. Each senator has the final call on whether to attend in person. Democratic Senator Kamala Harris, Biden’s running mate, will participate remotely because of the health concerns, a spokesman said on Sunday.

Graham has said his committee will likely vote on the nomination on Oct. 22, setting up a vote on the Senate floor by the end of the month.“We can easily get her confirmed before the election,” he said on Sunday in an appearance on Fox News show “Sunday Morning Futures.”Barrett also is expected to face Democratic questioning on abortion.

The same way that Barr told everyone that he is his own man? I say BS.

That’s what they always say; look at AG Barr promising to be independent. They are already sold out to interpreting the constitution as it was intended (only they see it that way). Old school people.

8snt that what every nominee says? I seem to remember the AG saying the same crap!

As she should. Who needs an activist judge.

That's what Mary Tudor said

I believe that as much as I believed when Mr Trump said that there was no collusion between his campaign and Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign.

The Law of the Head

She's another of Trump's 'best people' so you just know that it's going to be a disaster for the country.

Will she tell seniors their health care will be gone...POOF

Well, GOP candidates lie a lot. Does she have established decisions that show she consistently does this, or is it simply meant to dismiss concerns without proof she will determine decisions as bipartisan?

Is this a Headline from Reuters or the Babylon Bee ? Hard to tell nowadays.

Sure D Trump will not be pleased

LiesAfterLies TrumpIsANationalDisgrace handmaidstale

BS... of course. She also said her role model is Scalia who was infamous for starting with the result he wanted and then building some kind of rickety legal scaffolding that supported his pre-drawn conclusion.

Ummm - I have learned over the years that it is so very hard to separate our logical selves from our experiential selves as they inform one another.

Of course she will... what else would you expect her to say

If she had been a Muslim handmaiden instead of a christian one we wouldn’t be having his conversation, if you can call it that. She’d not be a judge at all.

What is the difference between approach and judge😗😅

Of course she will... what else would you expect her to she say

And she will be lying. Trump tarnishes everything he touches

Liar. She’s full of shit. Al Franken ex Senator bombarded her about her background and judgments during her last hearing for the 7th court. Hope this week they’ll do the same. It was incredible. Obviously the Reps ran her through like now. Watch him.

Did trump knowingly expose joe Biden and others to the Covid virus at the September 29th debate?

Be wise.

Spare me the BS, we all know exactly why you were picked and exactly what you are going to do.

As all judges should.

And she’ll refuse to answer the other half. She hasn’t been a judge long enough to have experience either. Unqualified was MoscowMitch favorite to pack the courts with

Whenever everyone goes to the hearing, they shout out to be fair...

Bull crap!

Just like Bill Barr claimed before being confirmed for trump’s lawyer government position.

Unlike the democrats

That's all Susan Collins needs to hear.

THATS HER JOB. Its fucked this needs to be news.

Every supreme court nominee says that

The president and his family are being investigated for fraud by the Manhattan DA and the New York AG. The president and his family are being investigated for fraud by the Manhattan DA and the New York AG. The president and his family are being investigated for fraud by the Manha

Well, yes. That's the sine qua non for being a judge. If she wasn't prepared to do that, she shouldn't even be in her current post
