Amy Coney Barrett
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a titan in the law, who both on and off the Court spent her life tirelessly devoted to making real for millions of Americans the protections contained in the text, history, and values of our Constitution. To fill the seat previously occupied by Justice Ginsburg, President Donald Trump has nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett. The ultimate test of a nominee to the Supreme Court is her fidelity to the whole Constitution’s text, history, and values. Unfortunately, based on her record to date, Judge Barrett appears to fail this test. A review of Judge Barrett’s constitutional record, reflected both in her law review articles published during her academic career and judicial opinions during her three-year tenure as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, strongly suggest that Judge Barrett would undo deeply-rooted protections reflected in the Constitution’s text, history, and values—many that Justice Ginsburg sought to safeguard—and move the Supreme Court even farther to the right.
