In new memoir, Supreme Court Justice Barrett reflects on historic cases, is largely silent on Trump
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett says “violence or threats of violence” against judges shouldn’t be the cost of public service. But in an interview at the court with The Associated Press about her new book, “Listening to the Law,” Barrett was not willing to join other judges who’ve called on President Donald Trump to tone down rhetoric demonizing judges. Along with other justices, Barrett said she’s received death threats following the court’s decision in 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade’s right to an abortion. At 53, Barrett is the youngest member of the court. Barrett says she wrote the book to make the nation’s highest court accessible to non-lawyers.
