The Public Record
Amy Coney Barrett is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, having been nominated by President Donald Trump and confirmed in October 2020. She is known for her conservative judicial philosophy and has been involved in significant rulings on issues such as abortion, healthcare, and administrative authority. Barrett previously served as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and has a background in law academia, including a professorship at Notre Dame Law School. Barrett's judicial approach emphasizes textualism and originalism, reflecting her commitment to interpreting the Constitution as it was originally intended.

Rendering the decision legislative also ensures that a decision to suspend emerges from a process that is relatively more representative of the people whose civil liberties are at stake.
Roe v. Wade clearly held that the constitution protected a woman`s right to terminate a pregnancy. Casey upheld that central holding and spelled out in greater detail the test that the court uses to consider the legality of abortion…
I don’t think that abortion or the right to abortion is -- would change even...
It doesn`t seem to me to follow that pregnancy and then parenthood are all part of the same burden.
It’s also focused on the consequences of parenting and the obligations of motherhood that flow from pregnancy. Why don’t the safe haven laws take care of that problem?
I’m wondering if in a defensive posture in state court, the constitutional defense can be fully aired.
Even apart from these procedural requirements that you're talking about, I'm wondering if, in a defensive posture in state court, the constitutional defense can be fully aired.
