Amy Coney Barrett

About

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, appointed by President Trump in 2020, has shown a willingness to chart her own course on the Court. While generally conservative, she has broken with the conservative bloc in several significant cases, including her dissent in the San Francisco v. EPA water pollution case. A former law professor and Seventh Circuit judge, Barrett is an originalist who has written thoughtful concurrences on how to handle precedent and the role of stare decisis.
