'Aren't you in fact counting on Justice Barrett to—to either end or restrict Roe v. Wade, and wouldn't you be terribly disappointed if she failed to do that?' Chris Wallace asked Senator Ben Sasse.

Sasse responded by pointing out that the job of a senator, like himself, is different than that of a judge. He said if Barrett were running for elected office"she would have policy positions that she would lay out to the American people." The Republican lawmaker asserted that this is not the job of a judge and criticized the"politicization" of the court.

Democratic lawmakers have strongly criticized Barrett's nomination, raising concerns that the justice could vote against the Affordable Care Act,in particular. In 2013, Barrett signed her name to an ad that called"for the unborn to be protected in law." Meanwhile, it appears that Barrett's confirmation is likely to succeed. Republicans currently control the Senate by a margin of 53 to 47, and only two GOP lawmakers have signaled that they may oppose Barrett's nomination prior to the election.
