Recap of Day Three: Amy Coney Barrett Hearings

On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate continued to question Judge Amy Coney Barrett during her third Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Senators, including Democratic senator and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, asked Barrett about issues including abortion, the Affordable Care Act and immigration. Coverage from left-rated sources tended to frame Barrett's answers as deflective; some voices from the left criticized Barrett's choice not to comment on immigration, which she said reflected a policy debate she could not “be drawn into as a judge.” Some voices from the right pointed to Barrett's reason for declining to answer as evidence of her impartiality as a judge and a reflection of her character.
