The Trump-appointed justice has shifted the court to the right, but she has angered some in MAGA world by voting against some of President Donald Trump's priorities.

Summary

MAGA has turned on Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, after she sided against Trump in two recent 5-4 rulings.

Online critics accuse her of disloyalty, with some even calling her a “DEI judge.”

Barrett has consistently ruled in favor of conservative causes but has occasionally taken a more independent approach. However, Trump supporters expect personal loyalty from the justices.

The backlash mirrors previous attacks on judges ruling against Trump, raising concerns about threats and judicial independence.

    There was a time when Clarence’s mindlessly textualist dissents were basically a drinking game for Law Students. Take a shot every time he mentions that something didn’t exist in 1789! He was also famous for never, ever asking questions in oral arguments. Then of course there are the famous complaints about salary. Dude simply does not give a fuck, but that kind of committed disdain for the institution ended up serving him well as the GOP sank down to meet him.
