Senate Democrats have decided to make the ongoing court battle over the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act the centerpiece of their argument against the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

In her opening statement, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat from California, pointed to repeated statements by President Trump promising to nominate judges who would overturn the law, popularly called Obamacare, during Senate confirmation hearings Monday morning.

“Health-care coverage for millions of Americans is at stake with this nomination,” Feinstein said, noting that on Nov. 10 the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case California v. Texas, wherein 20 Republican-led states have sued to have the law struck down. The Trump administration has declined to defend the law in court.

“The president has promised any judge he nominates will overturn the ACA,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, in his opening remarks. “Judge Barrett has already made it clear she considers the act unconstitutional,” he added, referring to 2017 article she wrote that argued that Chief Justice Roberts 2013 decision to uphold the law “pushed the Affordable Care Act beyond its plausible meaning to save the statute.”
