WASHINGTON – Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will face senators' questions over her approach to health care, legal precedent and even the presidential election during a second day of confirmation hearings on track to lock in a conservative court majority for years to come.The mood is likely to shift to a more confrontational tone as Barrett, an appellate court judge with very little trial court experience, is grilled in 30-minute segments Tuesday by Democrats gravely opposed to President Donald Trump's nominee, yet virtually powerless to stop her rise.
Republicans are rushing her to confirmation before Election Day. “This should not be President Trump's judge,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., a member of the Senate Judiciary.
