As the confirmation hearings continue, Barr will also be grilled on presidential powers, immigration enforcement, abortion, torture, protections for journalists, and his past actions in previous administrations.
During his opening remarks, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley charged that the questions asked of Judge Kavanaugh on part of Democrats during yesterday’s testimony were “unequivocally and universal hostile.” His fiery tone caused many Democratic senators to walk out in protest.

Even though Judge Brett Kavanaugh has provided the Senate Judiciary Committee with clear answers to their concerns surrounding his past rulings, even how he may rule in some cases, issues surrounding abortion rights and executive powers, it is not enough for Virginia Senator Mark Warner, who will vote “no” to confirm the D.C. Circuit Court judge to the U.S. Supreme Court.
