Chinanews, October 13th, a comprehensive report, on the morning of October 12, local time, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing to audit Trump's nominated Justice Amy Barrett (Amy Barrett).

The hearing process is expected to last until October 15. During this process, Barrett will accept questions from lawmakers.

  According to reports, Barrett stated at the hearing that the Supreme Court must be independent and must respect the original intent of the text when interpreting the constitution.

Before the hearing, Barrett also stated that after serving as the chief justice, she will "try the case according to the law rather than personal opinion."

  According to previous reports, on September 26, local time, US President Trump announced at the White House that Barrett was nominated to serve as Supreme Court justice to replace Ginsberg, the liberal justice who died before.

Some analysts say that if Barrett takes office, it will strengthen the conservative power of the U.S. Supreme Court, giving the conservatives an advantage of six judges over three judges.

  Reuters said that if Barrett is appointed, it may cause the U.S. Supreme Court to reduce abortion rights and expand religion and gun rights.

In addition, US Democrats are also worried that Barrett may repeal the "Affordable Care Act" (ie, "Obamacare") and help Trump gain a favorable position in the general election.

  The US media said that another highlight of Barrett's hearing is that she will face questions from Democratic congressmen.

According to reports, the Democratic vice presidential candidate Harris will launch a powerful offensive.

If Harris's questioning is strong enough, it is expected to boost the election of Democratic presidential candidate Biden; but if there is a mistake, it may endanger Biden's current leading polls.

A Harris spokesperson revealed on the 11th that in consideration of the new crown epidemic, Harris will participate in the hearing remotely from the Senate office.

  According to reports, Harris said on the 12th that Barrett’s appointment hearing should have been postponed because the committee did not take adequate precautions to ensure people’s safety.

Harris said that if the hearing continues, it will show: "Republicans have made it clear that the appointment of Barrett is more important than helping and supporting the American people suffering from the epidemic and economic crisis."

  The British "Guardian" analyzed that because the Republican Party currently occupies a majority of 53 seats in the Senate, Barrett's appointment seems to have no suspense.

Prior to this, Republican Senate Majority Leader McConnell and Judiciary Committee Chairman Graham also said that they have the majority of votes required to pass Barrett's nomination.

  It is understood that the nine justices of the Supreme Court of the United States are nominated by the President of the United States and can only be appointed after the United States Senate votes.

Once appointed by the Senate, the justices enjoy a lifetime term.
