Washington – As President Donald Trump was delighted with a major Supreme Court victory This slowed down the ability of judges to block his policies nationwide, he praised special for one of the judges: Amy CONEY BARRETT.
“I would like to thank Judge Barrett, who brilliantly wrote the opinion,” he said at a White House press conference shortly after the decision on Friday.
Barrett’s majority opinion in decision 6-3 along the ideological lines, which at least temporarily Rpeved Trump’s plan to end automatic elder citizenship is a major boost for an administration that has been assailed by the country’s courts for its broad and aggressive use of executive power.
He also marks an extraordinary reversal for Barrett’s reputation among Trump’s most vocal supporters.
Barely a few months ago, she faced Vitriolic criticism Influencers Maga and others when she voted sporadically against Trump, including a March decision in which she rejected a Trump administration is trying to avoid paying American agency for international development entrepreneurs.
CNN also reported that Trump himself had complains private About Barrett.
It is despite the fact that he is a person appointed by Trump with a long decisive voting record in a multitude of key cases in which the conservative majority 6-3 of the Court imposed itself, in particular with the 2022 decision which canceled the Landmark Roe v. Wade.
One of these frank criticisms, Trump’s allied lawyer Mike Davis suggested that the pressure on Barrett had the desired effect.
“Sometimes feeling the heat helps people see the light,” he said in an SMS.
Maga influencers quickly praised Barrett and overthrow the liberal judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in place.
They seized the language in the opinion of Barrett during which she gave a brief blow to the dissident opinion of Jackson, in which President Joe Biden described the decision “existential threat to the rule of law”.
Barrett replied Jackson by accusing Jackson of a “surprising attack line” which was based on arguments “in contradiction with more than two centuries from the previous one, not to mention the Constitution itself”.
Jack Posobiec, a conservative Brandon who a few months ago called Barrett a “The Jew, “ Immediately used a similar language against Jackson, who is the first black woman to sit on the ground.
In an appearance on Real America’s Voice, a right of right streaming, he calls Jackson a “Automatic rental “ in reference to allegation of conservatives Biden staff were responsible for many of his decisions.
He then described Barrett as “one of the nicest. She is not a preservative launched by the flames up there. ”
It is not only a question of the case of citizenship of duty of birth in which the Trump administration has won victory in the Supreme Court in recent months.
The court, often with the three liberal judges in dissent, also presented to Trump several victories on the emergency requests filed in court, allowing various policies which were blocked by the lower courts to enter into force.
In such cases, the court does not always lists exactly how each judge voted, but Barrett did not publicly dissident, for example, when the court allowed Trump to discharge immigrants in countries where they have no link or have ended temporary legal protections for 500,000 immigrants From four countries.
The defenders of Barrett reject the suggestions that she would be influenced by the negative comments of Magi World, with Samuel Bray, professor at Our Lady Law School, affirming that his decision according to which limited national injunctions simply show his independent qualities as a judge.
“This should strengthen the feeling that she is her own justice and she is committed to giving legal answers to legal issues. We should not seek political answers to political questions,” he said.
Barrett, via a Supreme Court spokesperson, did not respond to a request for comments.
More broadly, legal experts said that in the term of the Supreme Court which has just ended, Barrett has shown that on many traditional conservative questions, it is “solidly on the right”, Anthony Kreis, professor at the Georgia State University College of Law.
There were fewer examples of her that went in her own way that The previous termWhen it jammread its own path in certain significant cases.
Only Friday, it was part of a 6-3 conservative majority in three of the five decisions, including the Citizenship Citizenship of Rights. The others saw the courtyard Rule in favor of religious conservatives who opposed LGBTQ history books in elementary schools and Confirm a restriction in Texas On adult content websites.
“I don’t think we can say that she was never drifting, but she occupied a central position on the right on the field which sometimes made her a voting of swing key,” he added. “The file of this term at the end was simply not that.”
A notable wrinkle in the case of citizenship of birth law is that Barrett, as the most junior justice of the majority, should not write it. Often, chief judge John Roberts, who can affect business when he is in the majority, will write such decisions himself.
Carolyn Shapiro, professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law, said that the mission agreed in Barrett, known for his expertise on legal procedure. But she also wondered if Roberts could have considered the impact of complaints against Barrett and wanted to “give him a place to shine from the point of view of the right”.
Even if it was a consideration in Roberts’ thought, Shapiro added: “I don’t see much evidence that she does things that she would not have done without the criticism she received.”
