Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on Wednesday that she was “really impressed” by Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s explanation of a legal doctrine that is central in a pending Supreme Court case challenging the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare.
Barrett, who is nominated to the Supreme Court, continued fielding questions from senators as the marathon hearing entered its third day. She was again asked questions related to the upcoming Supreme Court case, California v. Texas, that challenges former President Barrack Obama’s signature health care law, and the issue of severability, which is one of the main questions in that case.
