@professornoahfeldman: I clerked with Justice Amy Coney Barrett back when she was just Amy Coney. Here’s what it taught me about her style as a Justice. This is Part 8 of my 9-part series on the current Supreme Court. Follow me to get caught up on Parts 1-7—and stay tuned for the grand finale. #scotus #law #politics #amyconeybarrett #supremecourt

She’s a professional, that’s why. She’s too conservative for me (personally), but she is intellectually honest, and that is rare.

What Scalia meant by “I am not a nut” is “I am not Clarance Thomas” 🤣

How does she square her Roe V Wade then just that it’s not in the constitution

I will never, to my dying day, fully understand how someone who is a genius could be conservative.

She was my teacher. I’m super liberal. I really liked her. I don’t agree with her but I have a lot of admiration and respect for her.

I don’t care how brilliant she is. I don’t care how conservative she is. You will never be able tonconvince me that her religious views do not impede on her decisions. And before maga comes in on this…..RELIGION isnt a FACTOR in interpreting the constitution. It shouldn’t be involved at all. I’m not having this argument before come into my comment. I will refer you directly with a link to the areas in the constitution .

I argued before her at the 7th, I found her to be compassionate (immigration case), insightful, and well prepared- not all justices are knowledgable on the nuances of immigration law. I was pleasantly surprised as we are definitely on opposite spectrums and continue to be as she establishes her voice in the court. I appreciate her integrity most of all, even as I don’t always agree with her decisions.

I hate the idea of “Originalists”. I reject that whole concept.

She’s a true originalist for almost everything expect when it comes to religion cause then she is a catholic first and only

So, she has integrity. I don’t agree with her philosophies and morals but this is what we should want in a judge

Well the Republican party has largely drifted away from originalism. They basically shred the constitution now.

Thanks for this analysis. Still I mostly can’t agree with her. Not good for Americans and America.

but didn't follow precedent on roe v wade. and during confirmation lied about it. the supreme court is embarrassing, they don't follow their own rules

I love this series but it's so disappointing how these intellectual powerhouses are not only driven by their feelings over personal experiences, they intellectualize those feelings into law. Yes they are human too etc etc, but intelligence isnt the same as wisdom and most (coughconservativescough) are lacking in the latter. Self awareness is wisdom, and wisdom brings impartiality, and impartiality is supposed to be the foundational aspect of judicial decisions, right?

she’s slippery when it comes to cases involving religion. Her opinion in the coach praying on the 50 yard line was dishonest AF

And yet she still lied to Congress during her confirmation hearings when asked about overturning Roe v. Wade. She’s just another Ivy League hypocrite serving the interests of her wealthy masters

i'm just learning here about the history plus tradition doctrine. but it reminded me of Crawford v Washington where Thomas wrote about the Magna Carta and the Spanish Inquisition. this jumping on support of ancient history to work through modern day problems is just weird to me.

Hi Professor Feldman, I doubt you have the time to respond to tiktok comments all day, but this breakdown was really fascinating and it brought up a question I’ve been struggling to answer for a while now. What makes a legal genius(of justice barretts type)? Like what does that entail? Could you talk a little bit about the strengths that you observed?

You are laundering the political project of John Roberts with this nonsense about swing voters. ACB is right wing, and the brunt of her work moves us all to the right, a few counterintuitive votes notwithstanding

Imagine calling someone a “legal genius” in one breath and then go on to talk about how she worships Scalia. She’s a political actor manipulating the law for white supremacy. Not a genius at all
