Summary

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s reaction to Donald Trump walking past her at his joint congressional address went viral: “She looks like she couldn’t despise him more in this clip.”

Barrett, who was appointed by Trump in 2020, sided with a 5-4 Supreme Court majority to uphold a lower court order unfreezing $2 billion in foreign aid, drawing criticism from Trump supporters.

    Doesn’t look like she’s looking at him at all, staring at someone/something inthe background before Trump walks over

    SCOTUS should be elected.

    If a political party appoints a Judge then it is not possible for that judge to be unbiased.

    Is Amy Coney Barrett a Republican?

    Supreme Court justices do not serve under a political party. Barrett is considered to be among the Court’s conservatives, but she has served as a swing vote in some controversial cases.

    Lol sure.

      Yeah she was all happy when she got to handmaiden away women’s rights, but now she’s worried about the authoritarian stank that’s left on her? Wonder what changed.

        There has been a lot of real unironic talk amongst the GOP to remove women senators and judges from power. Or maybe Trump tried to rape her, wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

    I heard Amy Coney Barrett was a RINO. Many people came to me and said Sir. she is a closet left wing liberal lunatic. But she came to me with tears in her eyes, begging for a job. I should have thrown her out like a dog. What a TOTAL LOSER!

        It’s incredible that nobody (like foreign leaders) has ever said anything when they’re both on camera… Like come on. I would love to hear some German Minister or something, all serious, be like, “vat ist dat smellz?” while in the middle of a photo op or sit down discussion or some shit… Just to see how Trump reacts.

      That’s exactly what I thought. Women tend to have a better sense of smell than men. Also, some people are super smellers - I wondered if she might be one when I saw that clip.

        In the traditional meaning of the words, all Republicans and Democrats are conservative liberals. Does that seem like an oxymoron? It’s not, we’ve just twisted the word liberal to mean not conservative in the US. Progressive is a much better word for people who are against the conservative agenda.

          What the fuck are you on about, she is literally a christofascist sect member that wants to turn the USA into a real world enactment of The Handmaids Tale.

            Agreed 💯. I wasn’t talking about her specifically, just the way words have changed meaning over time, specifically in the US.

    She looks like the leopard ate her face and she understands why it did. But as long as she upholds the Constitution, that’s all you could ask for.

      She’s already gutted the Constitution. She helped evolve the argument that (and then voted that) he’s immune to anything he can claim as an “official act”, and now everything will be an “official act”. She helped him get back into office, now he can ignore the courts, including the Supreme Court - we already know no one is going to stop him. She had the chance to stop this and she failed.

        Well maybe the leopard just ate her face. Not she hasn’t done shitty things but better late than never since her seat is for life.
