Barrett, Senate prepare for second day of Supreme Court confirmation hearing
Judge Amy Coney Barrett is about to face questions.
Beginning at roughly 9 a.m. ET, each senator will take their turns grilling Barrett over issues that will likely be related to her background, past judicial decisions, overall judicial philosophy, hot-button legal issues such as abortion or health care, or the man who nominated her, President Trump.
Looking at the first day, it appears that a major part of Democrats' strategy for opposing Barrett is her past criticism of the Supreme Court's 2012 decision that upheld the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. One week after November's election, the Supreme Court will hear a case in which it will determine whether Obamacare is still constitutional now that there is no longer a penalty attached to the individual mandate.
