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

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Oct. 14, the third day of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing. He noted that the judicial confirmation process has become contentious because “people actually see the judiciary as the ultimate policy maker,” and then asked Barrett a series of questions about the independent nature of her role as a judge to make the point that “the judicial decision-making process is different than the legislative process.” The hearing came about three weeks before Election Day. The third of four days of scheduled testimony gave senators another opportunity to ask Barrett about her record and approach to the law.
