I want to speak next about the Affordable Care act. We have seen posters i want to speak about the portable care act. We have seen posters going up. Touching and heartwarming stories. I continue to doubt the relevance of things like that here, especially insofar as they are being used to suggest that your confirmation to the Supreme Court of the United States has anything to do with their health care. Think that anyu s healthal american care status is not tied to your confirmation to the Supreme Court of the United States . Judge barrett it is not tied to the nomination does to my nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. I have said repeatedly under of i had no conversations with anyone in the white house about that case. The extent to which there is suggested and i have an agenda, that i want to strike down Peoples Protection for preexisting conditions, thats just not true. I have never taken that position, and as i have also said repeatedly, any policy preference i have

Justice antonin scalia, in prepared remarks. It was the content of Justice Scalias reasoning that shaped me. His judicial philosophy was straightforward. A judge must apply the law as it is written, not as she wishes it were. If we can get this wonderfullyqualified, conservative woman on the court, well be making a statement to all young conservative women theres a place at the table for you. Your health care is on the lewin. A justice who on the line. A justice who has been critical of upholding the Affordable Care act. Doesnt matter who judge barrett is, doesnt matter what shes done, doesnt matter her record, doesnt matter. Sandra here we go on to day two. Weve got todays hearing covered, bret baier, as mentioned, Chris Wallace, that maccallum, but we begin with chief Legal Correspondent shannon bream. Shannon, good morning. Here we go, day two. They want it in the books. 30 minutes of questioning from each of the senators today, thats about 31 hours, take us 11 hours, take us well i
Imposing their policy preferences is because its inconsistent with democracy. No one wants to live in accord with the law of amy. My children dont want to do that.

Thats not the final word in our government, correct . We are a government of laws, not of men. Judge barrett, im almost through, but i cant p
Its inconsistent with policies. Nobody wants to live in the world of the law of amy, my children dont want to do that even. So i cant get up on the bench and say you have to live by my policy preferences because i have lifetime tenure and you cant kick me out if you dont like them. Even if the Supreme Court strikes down a statute, congress can come back and revisit the topic and do so in a way that doesnt violate the constitution. Ultimately we can amend the constitution itself, correct . That is correct. The basis of legitimacy of governmental power is consent of the governed. Do you agree with that . I do agree with that. Not what nine people in black robes, the high nigh on the potomac i think theyre sometimes called. Thats not the word we are a law, a government of laws, not of men. Judge barrett, im almost through but i cant pass up the opportunity to ask you a question about the establishment clause. I did with Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch as well. Its borne out of my fr
