YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett returned to Capitol Hill for a third day of confirmation hearings Wednesday, called "unashamedly pro-life" by her Republican Senate champion with Democrats running out of time to stop her quick confirmation.
Senators are trying to dig deeper into the conservative judge's outlook on abortion, health care and a potentially disputed presidential election, but Barrett has been batting away questions in long and lively exchanges, insisting she would bring no personal agenda to the court but decide cases as they come.
Her nomination by President Donald Trump to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has ground other legislative business to a halt as Republicans excited by the prospect of locking in a 6-3 conservative court majority race to confirm her over Democratic objections before Election Day.
"She's going to the court," said the committee's chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., as the proceedings got underway Wednesday after a nearly 12-hour session the day before.
Graham said Trump had made history by nominating someone "who is unashamedly pro-life." But Graham said, as Barrett has, that she'd be able to set her personal views aside when deciding cases on abortion.
Democrats worry that Barrett will vote to undermine abortion rights.
