Barrett concerned about public perception of Supreme Court
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett expressed concerns Sunday that the public may increasingly see the court as a partisan institution.
Justices must be hyper vigilant to make sure theyre not letting personal biases creep into their decisions, since judges are people, too, Barrett said at a lecture hosted by the University of Louisvilles McConnell Center.
Introduced by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who founded the center and played a key role in pushing through her confirmation in the last days of the Trump administration, Barrett spoke at length about her desire for others to see the Supreme Court as nonpartisan.
Barrett said the medias reporting of opinions doesnt capture the deliberative process in reaching those decisions. And she insisted that judicial philosophies are not the same as political parties.

(32,074 posts)While she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, she knows damn well why the Court has a negative public perception. She is just further dividing the country with the same bullshit spewed by the assholes who installed her. Just because she's an incompetent boob doesn't mean she can't spout lies and propaganda.

She is a handmaiden and a great & present threat to our country - along with Kavarape, Alito, Thomas & Gorsuch. They want to make us a country where their religious views are the law of the land and women have no rights at all.
