Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing for Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett - October 12, 2020 - Live 9:00 am ET

Posted: 12 Oct 2020 05:34 AM PDT

Introduction

This morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee will begin its hearings for the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals to the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The position became vacant following the death of the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in September. This is President Trump's third Supreme Court nomination, following his nomination of Justice Gorsuch to replace the late Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, and his nomination of Justice Kavanaugh to replace Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy.

The hearings this morning represent the opening statements from Senators and nominee Barrett, with questioning by Senators to follow on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, outside witnesses will testify. Judge Barrett's opening statement has been obtained by the media.

As Pennsylvania's Attorney General, I've been in court several times against the Trump campaign as they've tried to make it harder for people to vote. I've also taken legal action against Louis DeJoy for his attempts to mess with the United States Postal Service. We've won in court to ensure people can vote by mail-in ballot safely and securely. Trump keeps trying to sow doubt in our elections and disenfranchise voters, and I'm fighting him every step of the way to make sure your vote is counted.
