Newly elected Judge of the Supreme Court in America, Amy Coney Barrett has said something about Obamacare. President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, stated on Tuesday that she gave no commitments to the White House on how she would rule on Obamacare or election-related cases and refused to say if she believed landmark rulings legalizing abortion and gay marriage were properly decided.

During 11 hours of questioning on the second day of her Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, Barrett opted not to say whether she would step aside from taking part in a major Obamacare case to be argued on Nov. 10 or in any disputes arising from the Nov. 3 election - as Democrats have requested. The marathon session gave the conservative US appellate judge a chance to respond to Democrats who oppose her because they fear she will cast a decisive vote in striking down the 2010 healthcare law formally called the Affordable Care Act and its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

“I am not here on a mission to destroy the Affordable Care Act,” Barrett said. “I’m just here to apply the law and adhere to the rule of law.” While Democrats were determined in their interrogation, the hearing retained a respectful tone and Barrett remained even-tempered while nimbly sidestepping questions on her views on abortion, LGBT rights, gun control and voting rights. Senator Kamala Harris, who is Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s running mate, was not satisfied with Barrett’s answers, saying Americans were afraid that Obamacare would be overturned in the middle of a deadly pandemic.
