Amy Coney Barrett faces fresh conservative backlash after Supreme Court decisions
Kelly called Barrett a "turncoat" after the justice joined a 5-4 ruling upholding Mississippi's mail-in voting law, angering Trump loyalists.
- Justice Amy Coney Barrett recently anchored major conservative triumphs on the Supreme Court by voting to expand presidential executive authority, including a landmark ruling that formally advanced the president's powers to fire independent federal regulators.
- Despite supporting those conservative milestones, Barrett sharply broke ranks with her fellow conservatives on the emergency docket by warning that the court was moving too fast and going too big on highly consequential legal precedents.
- She further established her independent streak by writing the majority opinion that rejected a Trump-backed Republican National Committee challenge, ruling instead that states are legally permitted to count late-arriving mail-in ballots.
- Her vote to protect post-Election Day ballot grace periods triggered intense backlash from prominent conservative lawmakers and MAGA commentators who argued the decision compromised election integrity.
- In another high-profile deviation from Trump's platform, Barrett joined a divided majority to uphold birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment, directly striking down an executive order that attempted to deny citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants.
