Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s opinion was just a page long, all of two paragraphs.
Justice Barrett was the third of Mr. Trump’s appointees, rushed onto the court after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, arriving just before the 2020 election.
But she is viewed as one of the more moderate members, relatively speaking, of the court’s six-member conservative supermajority.
In public appearances, she is adamant that the court is apolitical, though she sometimes says so in venues that undercut her message.
In 2021, for instance, Justice Barrett told an audience in Kentucky that “my goal today is to convince you that this court is not comprised of a bunch of partisan hacks.”
