īarrett answered, "The Supreme Court can’t control what the president obeys.So far as I know, that question has never been litigated.That question may or may not arise, but it’s one that calls for legal analysis about what the scope of the pardon power is." Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) asked Barrett whether a president could ignore a court order or pardon himself from a crime. īarrett responded, "Yes, I said there was fear and there was disenrollment, but that the rule did not apply to anyone currently eligible.I said in my dissent that it would be better to send that back to the District Court." Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) questioned Barrett on her dissent. īarrett answered, "I will not comment on what any justice said in an opinion, whether an opinion is right or wrong or endorse that proposition." Barrett also said, "Racial discrimination still exists in the United States, and I think we've seen evidence of that this summer." Īccording to The Washington Post, Barrett wrote a dissent that upheld the public charge rule, an immigration regulation requiring that migrants demonstrate that they are not reliant on government support in order to be considered for citizenship. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) asked Barrett whether she agreed with Chief Justice John Roberts on the existence of voter discrimination. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) asked Barrett whether "the president has the right to deny a person the right to vote based on their race." īarrett cited the 15th Amendment of the Constitution and said, "The Constitution contains provisions that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race and voting." Mike Lee (R-Utah) questioned Barrett on her decision to rule in favor of a Chicago law that places a buffer zone between pro-life protesters and abortion clinics.Īccording to the Deseret News, "Barrett said she followed a binding Supreme Court precedent in deciding that case." īarrett responded, "I think Griswold is not going anywhere unless you plan to pass a law prohibiting couples, all people, from using birth control." She further stated, "I think the only reason that it's even worth asking that question is to lay a predicate for whether Roe was rightly decided.I think that Griswold is very, very, very, very, very, very unlikely to go anywhere." Connecticut (which affirmed a person's right to buy and use contraception) was correctly decided. Christopher Coons (D-Del.) asked Barrett whether Griswold v.
