The US supreme court justice’s history with the People of Praise raises questions about her impartiality in upcoming case

A faculty guide published in 2015, the year Barrett joined the board, said “blatant sexual immorality” – which the guide said included “homosexual acts” – had “no place in the culture of Trinity Schools”. The discriminatory policies were in place before and after Barrett joined.

“They decided that I wasn’t allowed to be around my sister, who was 13 at the time, without them around, because I could ‘influence’ her in bad ways. Stuff like that. So I had a tenuous relationship with my family,” she said. “To be cut off from my family was the ultimate loss of community.” Sullivan and her parents, who are no longer members of the faith group, have since repaired their relationship, she said.

Barrett said in her confirmation hearing that her personal religious beliefs would not interfere with her abilities to be an unbiased judge. Conservatives have also lashed out against any suggestion that her affiliation with a Christian sect could compromise her independence. The May 2006 issue of Vine and Branches, produced by the People of Praise, shows Amy Coney Barrett pictured at a People of Praise Leaders' Conference for Women in 2006.Barrett has never publicly acknowledged her membership in the community since becoming a judge and did not disclose it during her 2020 confirmation. It wasfrom its website ahead of her meetings with lawmakers.

GuardianUS SCOTUS ACB - Step away from gay rights, contraception, RvW……

She can't be trusted. During her confirmation hearings she said she wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade but once she was on the SC she did exactly that.

Ok so using this logic all 5 liberal judges must step away because of their support of liberal ideology!

You don't see other judges recuse themselves Even though there anti-gun, pro abortion.

yeah that’ll work lol

as if she will
