Amy Coney Barrett
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
judicial
Still SeatedAmy Coney Barrett is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and a former law professor and federal appeals judge. She joined the Court in 2020 after a lightning-fast confirmation that locked in a stronger conservative majority just before a presidential election. Barrett’s public packaging is disciplined, devout, and academically polished, which does help soften the reality that her rise was inseparable from one of the most nakedly power-driven confirmation plays in recent memory. On Yeeted or Seated, she is the clean presentation layer over a very blunt exercise in ideological muscle.
