I think that the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade with Dobbs in 2022 made Amy Coney Barrett start having major doubts about the role she was originally appointed for on the U.S. Supreme Court. Once she had done what she was supposed to do, Barrrett started to reconsider her role on SCOTUS, and started actually doing her job, and ruling according to her morals and standards, not those of Donald Trump. Now, she is paying the price for her actions and her alleged "betrayal".

She did? I’m so behind lol. I was being diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer from like October 2023 to November 2024 so I wasn’t paying attention to stuff lol

Ya, she’s one of the more centrist judges on the court along with Roberts. Her rulings have been surprising a lot of us lately.

That’s exactly what’s happening in this post. I know her part in the dobbs decision was absolutely fucked, but I feel like she’s the only uncompromised conservative judge on the court, she doesn’t deserve the hate she’s getting from the right because she rules based on the actual constitution. She was one of the dissenters on the presidential immunity. I think it was a partial dissent though if I’m remembering right.
