Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett faces questions on 3rd day of confirmation hearing | LIVE

U.S. President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is set to face more tough questions by U.S. senators on the third day of her confirmation hearing Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Barrett repeatedly declined to give her personal views or to preview how she might rule, on key issues that could become before the court.

The Indiana judge, a faithful Catholic, also declined to say whether she believes Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that established the right to abortion, should be struck down.

Barrett's confirmation to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would create a 6-3 conservative majority on the court that could lead to rulings rolling back abortion rights, expanding religious and gun rights, and upholding Republican-backed voting restrictions, among other issues.
