from Barrett about her background, particularly dealing with the high court's precedent establishing the right to abortion. But Republicans have criticized Harris for how she questioned other nominees, including Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and accused Democrats of anti-Catholic bias that could hurt Barrett.
The late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat remained open for more than a year because Senate Republicans refused to consider former President Barack Obama’s nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, during the 2016 election year.“We're literally in an election. Over 4 million people have voted. People are in the process of voting right now,” Harris said during the vice presidential debate Wednesday.
Harris' grilling of Kavanaugh remains fresh in the minds of Republicans. Trump blasted Harris on Aug. 11 over her questioning of Kavanaugh..Linda Greene, a law professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said she expects Harris focus on the constitutionality of Obamacare because Barrett has argued that Chief Justice John Roberts “pushed the Affordable Care Act beyond its plausible meaning to save the statute.
Harris told reporters Sept. 28 that she would focus on preserving the Affordable Care Act, the right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade and workers’ rights.“I’m going to be very focused on whether there is going to be a process of reviewing that lawsuit that Donald Trump has brought to get rid of the Affordable Care Act because he tried to get rid of everything Barack Obama created,” Harris said.
“I'm pro-life. I don't apologize for it,” Pence said during the debate. “And this is another one of those cases where there's such a dramatic contrast.”Republicans have accused Democrats including Harris of anti-Catholic bias and warned it could hurt Barrett’s confirmation. But Harris denied knocking anyone for their faith.

How many freaking committees is RussianRon Johnson on and why is he still allowed to participate in Senate hearings?
WTF is wrong with the media ad reporting on prominent women in general and back women in particular? KamalaHarris
She’s got this !
I hope she or one of the other Senators ask her how she feels about the conditions she got nominated and if she will recuse herself if any 2020 election issues come before the USSC. I am so sick of all the corruption in this country!
Her name has not even pronounced properly . It's Kamala. With a soft A Not Cumala
I am not going to waste my time watching that moron try to make herself look good to all the baby killer sympathizers.......
She should reques herself from the committee
Why would she quit her current job when she knows she won’t be getting the next job?
The right wing would attack her no matter what she says and usa today would print it as if it were real news.
Pretty sure she’s already a target given that she’s, y’know, running for VP.
