The newest Justice on the high court was supposed to pay back Trump and conservatives with  ruling from the court that they would like….

THAT has not happened…..

As often happens?

Once they get the job?

US Supreme Court Justice move to follow and rule on the law….

While they are defined by the media in left/right/center political , not law terms?

The justices do pass down judgements that are different they what their supporters for the job thought they would….

After all?

They ARE humans and people do change sometimes….

Not just to pay back the guy who gave them the job…..

Some conservatives who pushed and prodded for the Senate to quickly confirm Amy Coney Barrett to succeed the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court last fall are rattled by what they have seen so far.

Barrett has only been on the bench since late October, providing an exceedingly small sample size, but her votes not backing President Donald Trump in attempting to overturn the 2020 election as well as a mixed ruling in a clash between houses of worship and California have brought concern to some who heralded her nomination.
The nervousness so early in her tenure reveals more about the high hopes of the conservative movement that has finally obtained a 6-3 majority than it does about Barrett’s own jurisprudence.
“You have a lot of people in the conservative movement who are so far disappointed and a little despondent about those votes,” said Kelly Shackelford, president of the First Liberty Institute — a group dedicated to defending religious liberty.
“But I think they are reading way too much into what evidence we have so far,” he said, noting that the votes came in emergency applications and cert petitions, and not in published opinions. “Instead, we have to wait on significant opinions before we can tell where she is.”
A separate source with close ties to religious liberty groups said that he had had a similar conversation with “more than a handful of people.” “There is concern and worry,” the source said, going as far as to call Barrett “timid,” but acknowledging a “‘wait and see’ component.”….

  1. Another example of how Conservatism is bunk.

    Let me see they are mad about Barrett because she wouldn’t sanction out and out theft?

    They couldn’t care less about “law and order.”

    • It appears that they think Barrett isn’t going along with the Trump/Republican Senate ‘deal’?…..
