Schumer Says Barrett Must Recuse Herself on ACA, Election Cases

• An Obamacare case will be heard by the Supreme Court on Nov. 10, one week after the presidential election, says Schumer at a press conference in New York City on Sunday
• Barrett’s Senate confirmation hearings start on Monday and Democrats have conceded there’s little or nothing they can do to keep her off the court; Republicans have vowed to confirm Barrett before the election
