Simmering tension between U.S. Supreme Court justices Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas are likely to come to a head in an upcoming gun case.As Newsweek previously reported, Coney Barrett showed her strong disapproval of Thomas's analysis during oral arguments in United States v. Rahimi, a case that will decide whether people under a domestic violence civil restraining order have a right to own a gun.
By doing so, Coney Barrett was signaling that she does not agree with Thomas's strict constructionist view of the Second Amendment. Thomas's school of thought suggests that readers should look only at the wording of the Constitution, which placed no impediments on the rights of U.S citizens to own a gun.This is not the only time the pair have differed recently. On June 12, Coney Barrett had some stern words for Thomas in her written decision in a trademark case.
