Barrett Concerned About Public Perception of Supreme Court

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett expressed concerns Sunday that the public may increasingly see the court as a partisan institution.

Justices must be “hyper vigilant to make sure they’re not letting personal biases creep into their decisions, since judges are people, too,” Barrett said at a lecture hosted by the University of Louisville’s McConnell Center.

Introduced by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who founded the center and played a key role in pushing through her confirmation in the last days of the Trump administration, Barrett spoke at length about her desire for others to see the Supreme Court as nonpartisan.

Barrett said the media’s reporting of opinions doesn’t capture the deliberative process in reaching those decisions. And she insisted that “judicial philosophies are not the same as political parties.”

After the 2020 election there is no doubt left that the SCOTUS is a political body with a liberal agenda. They had an obligation to hear the Texas, and many other’s, state case against the election fraud. But they cowed in fear in the face of criticism from the msm and antifa. There is no fixing that.

Americans recognize that SCOTUS prefers
rape and snuff films of 14 year olds, Epstein Island
and treason du jour,
rather than their Oath to defend and protect
THIS Constitution (not Malta’s).

The public sees the Supremes as inept, ineffective, and too slow to protect our rights and the constitution. We see the Chief Justice as a fake, more interested in cutting the baby in half than in protecting our rights and laws. More than any other part of government we are profoundly disappointed in the Courts. In the end, they have let us down when it was most important.

What a disaster. She’s shaping up to be John Roberts in a dress. Or maybe she borrowed one of his dresses.

I get the impression that she wants to make sure the Court isn’t too far on the Right. They probably need to lean further Left in order to avoid any impressions of personal bias.

Right?

Supreme Court Justices, along with Congress members should all have term limits.

Very well put and so very sad.

She’ll prove to be a typical scared pubbie, with no guts. Her and her husband want to be friends with the WaPo and be accepted on the beltway cocktail circuit.

Partisan, or ideological?

She’s nothing but a poser. The dems knew what they were getting when she was confirmed and put on an act during the confirmation process.

Left-wing “pubbies” are not scared. They are ideologues.
