Yes, she's "little better than RBG...". Good grief.
AJ Barrett has been in the majority on multiple landmark decisions:
Free exercise of religion (Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, 2021)
And religious schools eligible for state funding (Carson v. Makin, 2022)...
And gun rights (NY State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v. Bruen, 2022)...
And affirmative action (Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard/UNC, 2023)...
And Chevron deference (Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 2024)...
And presidential immunity (Trump v. United States, 2024)...
AJ Barrett is a stickler on cases being fully briefed, meaning in part that they work their way through the appellate system. That irritates some people for sure.
“AJ Barrett is a stickler on cases being fully briefed, meaning in part that they work their way through the appellate system.”
There is some value in that.
“Similar to I-95 express lanes, I-66 operates under dynamic tolling with no max toll.”
“When a toll is “dynamic,” the fee to use the lanes is determined by the volume on the roads and demand for the lanes. The suggested toll aims to maintain a free-flow speed of 45 mph.”

It is my understanding that this regulation by dynamic tolls is notorious in the DC area.
Given the liberals only appoint judges who will always vote for the ideology my opinion has changed over the years.
Conservative Judges need to be as dogmatically aligned to the conservative cause as liberals are to liberal causes; otherwise, liberals will absolutely own the court. Conservative judges must be reliable (as in 100%) aligned to rule conservatively
Thanks for listing out some of the cases where she has been on the majority.
Just in general , all three of Trump’s Supreme Court nominees are considered too liberal for many people here on Free Republic . I understand criticism of rulings on individual cases. But it’s good to know what the judge’s overall records are.
She is hardly another Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but to listen to some people, you’d swear that that’s what she is. You should look at the overall record. Consider how Ginsburg would have ruled on some of these cases, and how that contrasts with how Barrett ruled.
