News12 featured Haub law professor Bennett Gershman in "Pace law professor: Barrett would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, ‘Obamacare’"
Few who News 12 spoke to Saturday were surprised by President Donald Trump's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Her views in many ways are seen as the opposite of liberal icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Sept. 18.
Pace University law professor Bennett Gershman predicts the overturning of many historic Supreme Court decisions if the conservative is confirmed to fill the seat.
"She would vote to overturn Roe v Wade. She would vote against gay marriage. She would vote against the Affordable Care Act. Everything that Ruth Bader Ginsburg stood for, she would be against," he says.
Barrett's nomination is expected to kick off a furious scramble to confirm her in the Senate before Election Day on Nov. 3.
