Leaked SCOTUS Documents Reveal Amy Coney Barrett’s Secret Role
Despite being appointed by President Trump to overturn Roe v. Wade, Justice Amy Coney Barrett initially opposed hearing the Dobbs case. Although she ultimately cast the deciding vote to overturn Roe, her voting record reveals a less partisan approach than expected by her conservative supporters, frequently siding with liberal justices on Trump administration matters. This has led to friction with the court’s most conservative wing, with Barrett sometimes issuing concurring opinions that diverge from her colleagues’ reasoning. Her actions, including recusal in a conflict-of-interest case, demonstrate a commitment to judicial process over partisan politics.
