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.

    Disloyalty? The whole point of a Judge is to be impartial and not just vote how they are told to. Otherwise what is the point. Just put any yob off the streets into the judiciary to vote yes to what you want.

    I especially love how this decision was 5-4 that the government has to honor a contract it signed, and the MAGA folks are upset that the government can’t simply scam everyone and everything.

      In addition, I believe some if not all of the contacts in question were completed on the vendors side. This is an attempt at the biggest dine and dash in history.

        That’s correct. This was entirely to pay for work done before the Stop Work Order, with contracts already in place, money obligated and ready to go.

        Dine and dash is the perfect comparison.

    I’ll be honest, I am expecting an angry, armed J6er to off a SC Justice before Trump’s term ends, so Trump can appoint Matt Gaetz to that seat. But my money was on one of the liberals, not on ACB…

    She was literally an unqualified DEI hire. If we ever have another dem president (not likely) they could fire her using mcdiaper’s executive order.
