WATCH: Amy Coney Barrett Stands Up to Democrat Chris Coons: 'I Hope That You Aren't Suggesting That I Do Not Have My Own Mind'

Judge Amy Coney Barrett pushed back Wednesday against an effort by Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) to argue that she would endanger the right to contraception because her mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia, thought a key decision was wrong.Coons raised the case of Griswold v. Scalia had said that the case was wrongly decided because it referred to a “penumbra” of rights, leading to more activist decisions.The Delaware Senator quizzed Barrett about the case:Coons: When we spoke on the phone last week, you said you cannot think of any specific issue of law where you disagreed with Justice Scalia. But, let me one more time say, are you unwilling to say, as so many currently serving justices currently have, that at least Griswold is not wrong?Barrett: I think Griswold isn’t going anywhere in this you plan to pass a law prohibiting couples, or all people, from using birth control. Would you agree with Justice Scalia that Justice Ginsburg’s decision in VMI was wrong?Barrett: Senator, to be clear, as I think I said in response to this question yesterday, I do share Justice Scalia’s approach to text, originalism and textualism, but in the litany of cases you just identified, the particular votes that he cast are a different question of whether I would agree with the way he applied those principles in particular cases.
