WASHINGTON - Democrats are urging U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett to recuse herself from any election-related cases because of President Donald Trump’s comments that he expects the justices to potentially decide the outcome, but there is no way to force her to do so.
On Wednesday Trump said he wanted the full complement of nine justices on the court as soon as possible in part because he believes the court will determine the outcome of the Nov. 3 presidential election. Trump has repeatedly and without evidence attacked mail-in balloting, a longstanding feature of U.S. elections.Senate Democrats say they will probe Barrett on the subject during her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the hope she will pledge to step aside in certain cases.
During previous Senate hearings, Supreme Court nominees have routinely declined to commit on how they would approach cases that could come before them.
