Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) is suggesting she will be pressing President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, on a variety of issues during her Senate confirmation hearings.

“I will be asking her, her position on the Affordable Care Act. I will be asking her her position on a woman’s right to choose, among others,” Hirono said during her appearance on CNN’s “New Day” Monday.

Hirono argued Trump is rushing Barrett’s nomination to strike down the Affordable Care Act.

“This nominee is being rushed in a matter of weeks so that she can be sitting there on the court with a lifetime appointment to, first of all, hear the Affordable Care Act case on Nov. 10, a mere week after the general election and then she will be a vote against the Affordable Care Act,” Hirono said.

She added, “She can be counted on. That is why the president appointed her because he said, ‘I am going to appoint Supreme Court nominees who will strike down the Affordable Care Act.'”

Host Alisyn Camerota noted Democrats do not have the votes to stop the confirmation. She asked Hirono if her goal is just to get Barrett “on the record.”

Hirono explained Democrats need to inform the American people of what is “at stake.”

She reiterated Trump’s goal is to get rid of the Affordable Care Act by rushing Barrett’s confirmation.

“The American public need to know that this nominee is a clear and present danger to their health care and by the way, [if] we can find two more courageous Republicans who say, ‘This is not the way we ought to be going forward with this nominee,'” Hirono said.

Senators will ask Barrett questions on Tuesday and Wednesday in lengthy all-day sessions. The hearing is scheduled to conclude on Thursday.
