Some Long Islanders and organizations are worried about what will happen to the Affordable Care Act if President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee is confirmed.

President Trump picked federal appellate Judge Amy Coney Barrett over the weekend to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The president calls Barrett one of the nation's most brilliant and gifted legal minds.

If approved, that means there would be a 6-3 conservative majority on the high court and potentially could bring major changes in LGBTQ rights, abortion, immigration and health care.

Democrats and some Long Island organizations are worried about the Affordable Care Act. Barrett critiqued Justice John Roberts' majority opinion upholding the act back in 2012. In a published essay in 2017, Barrett criticized the logic behind the Supreme Court decision to uphold the law.

Republicans have been trying to end the Affordable Care Act for a decade.

Some are arguing that the Senate should not act on Trump's nomination and wait until the next president is in office.

Some local immigrant advocacy groups say they are also concerned. They cite a dissent Barrett authored that backed one of the more controversial Trump administration immigration policies. They believe the Senate should not act on this nomination until after November's elections

Barrett says she will work to serve the citizens and keep her personal views out of the courtroom if confirmed.

The president says Barrett would become the first mother of school-aged children to serve on the high court.
