 "Amy Coney Barrett")
President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett on Tuesday said at her US Senate confirmation hearing that her religious views would not affect her decisions on the bench and declined to say whether she believes landmark rulings legalizing abortion and gay marriage nationwide were properly decided.
The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing also presented Barrett with a chance to respond to Democratic lawmakers who have been unified in opposing her on what they say would be her role in undermining the Obamacare healthcare law and its protection for patients with pre-existing conditions.
Trump has asked the Senate to confirm Barrett before
