Read, Watch or Listen

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, in her first interview since joining the court, discussed her new book, "Listening to the Law," and her experiences. She rejected characterizations of the court's shift as 'left' or 'right', emphasizing her focus on individual cases. Barrett addressed the Dobbs decision, clarifying that it didn't outlaw abortion but returned the issue to states. She also commented on challenges to Trump's executive orders, stating the court decides legal questions, not political ones. While acknowledging the importance of her role, she expressed longing for her previous life at Notre Dame.
