Does Justice Barrett's Recusal Give Us Hope That She Will Stand up to Trump?
So I suggest in my new column for The Hill. Here is the gist:
Among Trump’s three appointees, Justice Amy Coney Barrett is probably the likeliest defector, having disagreed with the other conservatives (although not voting against them) in two of Trump’s 2024 election cases.
Barrett has also shown admirable integrity. She recently recused herself from an Establishment Clause case over public funding for religious charter schools, an issue that would ordinarily be important to her.
Perhaps it seems that I have only suggested rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, but even that can be useful if they get in the way of the lifeboats.
You can read the entire piece at The Hill.
