  • Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett answered questions from Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., about a 2017 law review article she wrote critiquing an opinion from Chief Justice John Roberts that upheld the tenets of the Affordable Care Act. Barrett said that she was not chastising Roberts for his interpretation, adding that she is “not hostile” to the health care legislation and would evaluate future cases concerning the law without bias. “I’m not here on a mission to destroy the Affordable Care Act. I’m just here to apply the law and adhere to the rule of law,” Barrett said.
    Barrett faced questions from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the second of four days of scheduled testimony as part of the committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings. The Oct. 13 hearing gave senators an opportunity to ask Barrett about her record and approach to the law.
