Daniel Goldberg, legal director at the Alliance for Justice: “This president has repeatedly said that ‘one reason I need Amy Coney Barrett on the ballot is to help me win this election.’ She was asked, given the president’s statement, isn’t there an appearance of impropriety and bias if she gets on the court and rules? She refused to say that she will recuse herself … Amy Coney Barrett has done nothing in this hearing to alleviate the real concerns that she will not be independent from the president that appointed her.”
