    Interesting to note the questions which ACB refused to answer and the democrats gave her a free pass.

    Barrett, 48, is an opponent of abortion rights, gay marriage, gun control, separation of church and state, social reform legislation and corporate regulation.

    Barrett worked as a young lawyer in the firm headed by Republican power broker James Baker. There she helped prepare the legal arguments used by the George W. Bush campaign in 2000 in the infamous Bush v. Gore case, in which the Supreme Court halted vote counting in Florida and handed the presidency to the Republican loser..

    Questions from Democratic senators that Barrett refused to answer include:

    • Whether the president has a constitutional right to unilaterally delay an election
    • Whether mail-in voting was “an essential way to vote for millions of Americans right now” amid the pandemic
    • Whether it is illegal to intimidate voters at the polls
    • Whether the president has the right to deny a person the right to vote based on his or her race
    • Whether the president has a right to pardon himself
    • Whether the president can refuse to comply with a court order
    • Whether it was wrong to separate immigrant children from their parents at the border
    • Whether the Supreme Court’s 1965 ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut that states cannot ban married couples from using contraceptives was correctly decided
    • Whether she agrees with Supreme Court precedent banning laws that criminalize homosexual conduct and the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision upholding the right of same-sex couples to marry
    • Whether the First Amendment protects a reporter’s decision to protect a confidential source
