    as a law clerk for Judge Laurence Silberman of
    the United States Court of Appeals for the

    icon.

    Miller, Cassidy, Larroca Lewin in Washington,

    John M. Olin Fellow at Law.

Professor Of Law At Notre Dame
  • Amy Barrett Coney went back to Notre Dame Law
    School in 2002 as an assistant professor. She
    eventually became a full-time professor known for
    her expertise in federal courts, constitutional
    law, and the interpretation of laws. She was
    named Distinguished Professor of the Year three
    times, and from 2014 to 2017 she was the Diane
    and M.O. Miller Research Chair of Law.
  • During her time as a law professor, Barrett lived
    in South Bend, Indiana. She joined the board at
    South Bends Trinity School at Green lawn and was
    known as a big Notre Dame Football fan.

10
Grave Violation Of Religious Freedom
  • Barretts strong Catholic and conservative
    beliefs also started to make her known across the
    country during these years. In 2012, she signed a
    statement that said President Barack Obamas
    requirement that contraceptives be covered by
    health insurance plans under the Affordable Care
    Act (ACA) was a grave violation of religious
    freedom. After three years later, she signed a
    letter to Catholic Bishops that praised the
    value of human life from conception to natural
    death and the family built on the unbreakable
    commitment of a man and a woman.

11
Immigration
  • Barrett again disagreed the next year when Cook
    County v. Wolf upheld the blocking of Trumps
    public charge rule, which made it hard for
    immigrants who depended on public assistance to
    get green cards. Barrett said that the
    administrations position was not unreasonable,
    and he insisted that the courts were not the
    place to settle policy disputes that were
    controversial.
  • Also, the judge has said what she thinks about
    important legal and political issues in her
    writing and speeches.

12
The Seventh Circuit Court Of Appeals
  • In May 2017, President Trump chose Barrett to
    serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
    Seventh Circuit, which includes Illinois,
    Indiana, and Wisconsin. During the confirmation
    hearing in September, Democrats tried to find out
    if the nominees religious beliefs would affect
    her too much. At one point, California Senator
    Diane Feinstein said, The dogma lives loudly
    within you.

13
Right To The Second Amendment
  • In the 2019 case Kanter v. Barr, Barrett was the
    only judge to disagree with the decision that a
    man convicted of a white-collar crime could not
    own a gun. She wrote, Founding legislatures did
    not take away felons right to bear arms just
    because they were felons.

14
Abortion
  • Amy Barrett Coney view of stare decisis has
    made her critics think she wants to overturn the
    1973 Roe. Wade decision that legalized abortion.
    The pro-life judge has talked at length about how
    complicated the topic is, from whether its a
    good idea to let non-elected judges decide the
    issue to how to stop the government from paying
    for abortions. However, in a lecture in 2013, she
    said it was unlikely that the landmark ruling
    would be overturned.

15
Nomination For Supreme Court
  • After Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, this was
    Trumps third nomination to the Supreme Court.
    The choice added to the tension between the
    president and his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden,
    in an already heated election year. Four years
    ago, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
    refused to hold hearings for Obamas nominee for
    the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland. He said that
    the public should have a say in who the next
    president is, so he didnt want to hold hearings.
    This time, though, McConnell and his fellow
    Republicans started the confirmation process just
    a few weeks before the election.

16
Senate Judiciary Committee
  • On October 22, the Senate Judiciary Committee
    voted unanimously to move Barretts nomination to
    the Supreme Court forward. On October 26, she was
    confirmed by a 52-48 vote, making the
    conservative majority on the court even stronger.
    Clarence Thomas took her oath of office.

17
Family And Husband
  • Amy Barrett Coney and her husband, Jesse, who
    also went to Notre Dame and used to be a federal
    prosecutor, have seven children. Two of their
    kids are from Haiti, and their youngest has Down
    syndrome.
