Epic selfie. How one tourist got to enjoy one of the worlds most amazing destinations all by himself. And sharing a laugh. Dont condescend me, zippy. Ill snap you like a butter bean. We remember one of tvs crudest but most beloved housekeepers. Good wednesday morning, everyone. Im mona kosar abdi. And im will reeve. We begin with judge Amy Coney Barrett getting grilled by democrats. She was confronted with several big issues including obamacare and abortion, and overnight President Trump weighed in during a rally in pennsylvania where he also insisted that were turning the corner on the pandemic. Under three weeks until the election, more states have started early voting. Some people waiting in line all day. In texas yesterday a record 128,000 people voted in Harris County alone. But lets begin with the Supreme Court confirmation hearings resuming today. Abcs Elizabeth Schulze has the latest. Good morning, elizabeth. Reporter mona and will, the 11 hours of questioning so far has been calm and cordial, but there were some tense moments when barrett was questioned about health care, womens rights and the upcoming election. This morning, judge Amy Coney Barrett insisting she gave no commitments to the white house pending her confirmation to the Supreme Court. I have no mission and no agenda. Judges dont have campaign promises. Reporter at a rally in pennsylvania last night, the president praising his nominee after her first day of questioning by senators. Amys made a great impression. [ crowd chanting fill that seat ] reporter at tuesdays hearing both democrats and republicans zeroed in on hot button issues including health care. The democrats claim that youre being put on the Supreme Court so you can vote to repeal the Affordable Care act. Is that your agenda . Absolutely not. Reporter the Supreme Court will hear a case on the Affordable Care act one week after the election. Vice president ial candidate Kamala Harris grilling barrett on obamacare which she has criticized. Would you consider the 135 Million People who gained protections under the Affordable Care act when deciding a case that challenges that law . I would consider all the protections that congress put in place. Reporter republicans pushing back on the questioning. This is all about their concern that a constitutionalist judge on the Supreme Court just might get in the way of their push to implement government run health care. Reporter on samesex marriage, barrett was forced to clarify this comment. I have never discriminated on the basis of sexual preference. Reporter barrett used the phrase sexual preference. Gay rights advocates say that term suggests Sexual Orientation is a choice. When you did use the term sexual preference earlier today rather than Sexual Orientation, is there a difference, and what is it . Senator, i really in using that word did not mean to imply that i think that, you know that its a matter that its not a that its not an immutable characteristic or that its solely a matter of preference. I honestly meant no offense. Reporter she listed several cases she believes cannot be challenged. Roe v. Wade is not one of them. Roe is not a super precedent because calls for its overruling have never ceased but that doesnt mean that roe should be overruled. It just means that it doesnt fall on the small handful of cases like marbury versus madison and brown versus the board that no one questions anymore. Reporter and with the president ial election now 20 days away, barrett was asked if it would be appropriate for her to be involved in a potential election dispute case. President trump has said hes counting on barrett and the court to, quote, look at the ballots. I certainly hope that all members of the committee have more confidence in my integrity than to think that i would allow myself to be used as a pawn to decide this election for the American People. Reporter perhaps the most charged moment of the hearing came when senator dick durbin asked barrett, the mother of two black children, about the fight for social justice. Have you seen the george floyd video . I have. What impact did it have on you . Senator, as you might imagine, given that i have two black children, that was very, very personal for my family. For vivian, you know, to understand that there would be a risk to her brother or the son she might have one day of that kind of brutality has been an ongoing conversation, and its a difficult one for us like it is for americans all over the country. Reporter now, more questioning is ahead today. The Senate Judiciary committee is expected to approve barrett tomorrow setting up her confirmation by the full senate before the election. Mona.

Reporter but overnight a different message from President Trump. Whos had it . Whos had it here . Whos had it . Yeah, a lot of people. A lot of people. Well, youre the people i want to say hello to because you are right now immune. Reporter the president telling a jampacked crowd in pennsylvania that theyre immune if theyve had the virus, an unproven claim, which doctors warn could be dangerous. We shouldnt be cavalier. There are people who are going to get reinfected, and some people will get reinfected and be sicker the second time around. Reporter across the country cities are seeing new clusters linked to socalled superspreader events. We have not seen an event like this before at any time throughout this pandemic.

Its not everything you want but theres a lot there. But you know what, okay, honest to god, i really cant get over it because andrew yang, hes lovely. Ro khanna, hes lovely. They are not negotiating this situation. They have no idea of the particulars. Why not call him and say, mr. President , lets work out a deal . What makes me amused, if it werent so sad, is how you all think that you know more about the suffering of the American People than those of us who are elected by them to represent them at that table.
