Summary

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s reaction to Donald Trump walking past her at his joint congressional address went viral: “She looks like she couldn’t despise him more in this clip.”

Barrett, who was appointed by Trump in 2020, sided with a 5-4 Supreme Court majority to uphold a lower court order unfreezing $2 billion in foreign aid, drawing criticism from Trump supporters.

    She looks like the leopard ate her face and she understands why it did. But as long as she upholds the Constitution, that’s all you could ask for.

      She’s already gutted the Constitution. She helped evolve the argument that (and then voted that) he’s immune to anything he can claim as an “official act”, and now everything will be an “official act”. She helped him get back into office, now he can ignore the courts, including the Supreme Court - we already know no one is going to stop him. She had the chance to stop this and she failed.

        Well maybe the leopard just ate her face. Not she hasn’t done shitty things but better late than never since her seat is for life.
