Description
In 2020, Amy Coney Barrett was nominated by President Trump to succeed Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. Like Antonin Scalia, whom she clerked for, she is considered a “textualist,” as she feels that statutes should be interpreted literally, without considering their legislative history or underlying purpose. She voted with the majority on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and in 1992, she stated that people must trust a ruling’s validity that the matter is taken “off the Court’s agenda.” She said that in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) Roe had not attained this status, and did not have immunity from judicial reconsideration.
US Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court of the United States, established in 1788 pursuant to Article Three of the U.S. Constitution. It has the ultimate jurisdiction over all federal and state court cases involving federal laws. The Court normally consists of the Chief Justice and eight associate justices, who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Justices have lifetime tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment. The Supreme Court is one of the three branches of the federal government which also includes the Executive (President) and Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives).
