Justice Amy Coney Barrett has increasingly sided with the liberal justices of the Supreme Court, most recently joining Chief Justice John Roberts in a ruling that mandates the Trump administration to restore $2 billion in USAID funding. This decision has drawn criticism from conservative justices who argue it undermines judicial authority and imposes undue financial burdens on taxpayers.
Barrett's pattern of voting against Trump raises questions about her alignment with conservative principles, despite her earlier key votes on significant issues like Roe v. Wade and race-based admissions. Observers are left to speculate whether she has shifted towards an anti-Trump stance.
