Two years ago, after nominating Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, President Donald Trump strongly hinted that his choice for the next opening would be a former law professor he had named to a federal appeals court the year before: Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
Liberal groups have been sounding alarm over Barrett for two years because of concerns over how she might rule on abortion and the Affordable Care Act. But it is also her personal qualities that particularly endear Barrett to conservatives across the country. At least four families in the law school faculty have adopted children, said Carter Snead, a longtime friend of the Barretts and a Notre Dame law professor whose three children are also adopted. “Their family is radically generous and hospitable,” he said.
Peers describe her as a textualist like Scalia: one who interprets the law based on its plain words, as opposed to someone who looks to accomplish the legislature’s purpose. And they said she was an originalist, meaning a judge who interprets the Constitution according to the understanding of those who drafted and ratified it.
Her judicial philosophy on abortion has already garnered the most interest, for personal and legal reasons. In a talk at Jacksonville University in 2016, Barrett said that the core holding of Roe v. Wade was that women had the right to an abortion, and that was not likely to change in the future, but how states restrict abortion might.
Although the state did not seek further review from the full 7th Circuit, Judge Frank H. Easterbrook, joined by Barrett and two other colleagues, addressed the law in a dissent from denial of review by the full court of a different provision of the law. “None of the court’s abortion decisions holds that states are powerless to prevent abortions designed to choose the sex, race and other attributes of children,” he wrote.
That left open the possibility of a different result on the next higher rung in the judicial hierarchy: the Supreme Court.
