Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett says justices must be 'hyper vigilant' about personal biases, fearing the court will be seen as partisan.
Justice Stephen Breyer criticized the Supreme Court for refusing to block the new Texas law that is banning most abortions in the state.LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett expressed concerns Sunday that the public may increasingly see the court as a partisan institution.
Barrett said the media’s reporting of opinions doesn’t capture the deliberative process in reaching those decisions. And she insisted that “judicial philosophies are not the same as political parties.” Several supporters of abortion rights demonstrated outside the Seelbach Hotel, where the private event was held.
“I have an important job, but I certainly am no more important than anyone else in the grocery store checkout line,” Barrett said, describing how her relationship with her children — who are not “particularly impressed” with her high-profile post — helps her stay grounded in her “regular life" where she is busy “running carpools, throwing birthday parties, being ordered around."
