The judge will likely face questions over her work for a Christian nonprofit organisation described by critics as an anti-gay hate group
Amy Coney Barrett’s hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee began on Monday with the Supreme Court hopeful facing questions over her support for a «hate group», according to independent.co.uk.
The 48-year-old judge is known to have ties to the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), an Arizona-based conservative Christian nonprofit organisation, which says it works on advocating, training, and funding on the issues of «religious freedom, sanctity of life, and marriage and family».
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organisation monitoring extremism, describes the ADF as a hate group, independent.co.uk reports.
