Justice Amy Coney Barrett said Monday that public scrutiny of the Supreme Court is hardly new and should be welcomed, and that she has developed a “thick skin” about criticism of her role as one of the newest justices.
“With everything, there can be good and bad,” Barrett said at a conference of judges and lawyers. “With the court being in the news, to the extent that it engages people with the work of the court, and paying attention to the court and knowing what the courts do and what the Constitution has to say, that’s a positive development.”
The downside, she said, comes if there is a misperception about the court’s work or if there is the sense that it has “let people down.”
She’s not wanting oversight tho…
She’s just fine with people talking about how corrupt she is, and that she’s a religious extremist placed on the court to turn her cults rules into laws everyone has to follow.
It’s a lot easier to accept criticism when it has no power over your job, salary, perks, or lifestyle. SCOTUS sure wasn’t “comfortable” when the public scrutiny was camped at their driveways.
She just means she doesn’t give a shit if people think she’s biased or corrupt.
The court’s work speaks for itself, far louder than Barrett understands. The misperception about the court’s work lies in Barrett’s skewed reality.
“Thick skin” = willing to ignore said oversight and everything it says (just like she does to the Constitution).
That’s because she hasn’t been there long enough to build up years of corruption and bribery yet.
And I thought that was a requierement to even get the job
In her case, it was just willingness to lick Trump boot.
I’m more interested to know whether she’s developed an understanding of our branches of government.
Thick skin can be a great asset against flak. What other mutations will she be seeking ahead of the mushroom wars?
