WATCH: Sen. John Cornyn questions Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the second day of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing. The Oct. 13 hearing comes three weeks before Election Day. The second of four days of scheduled testimony gave senators an opportunity to ask Barrett about her record and approach to the law.
Cornyn focused largely on judicial independence and the role of justices. Barrett said policymaking is for Congress, and that her job is to "interpret those laws and apply them to facts in particular cases."
