Fox news chief legal correspondent, anchor of fox news at night Shannon Bream has been on the hill all day and she has highlights now. Good evening. Abortion, gun control and from the Affordable Care act to Court Packing, judge Amy Coney Barrett remains in the hot seat and she is continuing tradition of not telegraphing exactly how she decided any particular case and she is working hard tonight to convince the senators she comes to the bench with no agenda. Im not willing to make a deal, not what the committee, not with the president , not with anyone. I am. Speak on the first day of questioning before the hearing committee, judge Amy Coney Barrett refused to commit to ruy particular way should she be confirmed to the nations highest court. She also stressed that no one within the Trump Administration, including the president , has asked her to. I have had no conversations with the president or any of his staff on how i might rule in that case. On the health care law. Thats why we keep
She cant be denied insurance or made to pay higher premiums either because of her gender or because of these preexisting conditions. She expressed to me astonishment. Many of us are engaged and interested in this because we care about the constitution, we care about constitutional law. And the ways in which it impacts a majority of all americans, frankly all americans. Help me explain to her how is it that the Affordable Care act settled eight years ago is back in front of the Supreme Court . Well, senator, i spent some time with senator sasse talking about how a case winds its way up and it is because litigants chose to challenge the law again. And, you know it went through the District Court and the fifth circuit and now the Supreme Court has granted certiorari on it. But as to the broader question, which i think is a political one, which is why are people fighting the Affordable Care act, you have to ask the litigants. I dont i dont know why theyre fighting the Affordable Care act.
Lemire. Professor at Princeton University and author of the book begin again, eddie glaude junior. And republican strategist susan delaware percio is with us. And were going to get to that answer or rather nonanswer from Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett on the question of a president s ability to delay the election and the transfer of power. It was kind of a concerning moment for democrats yesterday and a lot of conservatives. Well talk to Michael Steele and susan del percio about that and read actually what the constitution says. Texts were pretty sure that ag barr and judge barrett are both quite aware of, in fact im going to double down and say i know theyre aware of it. But first, willie, a defiant president holds another packed Campaign Rally despite concerns that we could be in the midst of a second wave of covid. We are in the midst of a global pandemic. Yeah, another night, another big crowded maskless rally as if this whole pandemic is not taking place. Covid19 cases co
Quo. When the secretary of state and our minister of Foreign Affairs met and had a press conference, they talked about both Climate Change and energy security. We talked about vehicle emissions standards. Th minister talked about the action weve taken had the the United States on coal plants in canada. I closed down some coal plants. I thought it was good for our jurisdiction but i think Energy Efficiency is crucial. Energyefficient homes, buildings, cars, trucks. Those are issues of aerospace and how to remake steps in that direction. I feel confident both canada and United States will achieve this copenhagen charter and achieve Energy Independence in north america by 2020. That is great for this neighborhood. What is the effect on the canadau. S. Relationship if the project is turned down . I dont think canadians will be impressed if the project is turned down. If it will do something to reduce greenhouse emissions in the United States, maybe you could make the argument. In terms of

We have not talked about Everything Else we do around the world together in some of the troubled spots. There are real values that we share.
