YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett in a new memoir defends her vote reversing a half century of national abortion rights, declaring that Roe v. Wade usurped the will of the American people and “came at a cost.”
“(T)he Court’s role is to respect the choices that the people have agreed upon, not to tell them what they should agree to,” Barrett writes in “Listening to the Law,” set to be published on September 9.
CNN obtained access to Barrett’s memoir, in which the justice also takes on religious bias and details her decision-making process, revealing that her chambers once celebrated with champagne when other justices joined a “particularly tricky” opinion of hers.
Barrett, President Donald Trump’s third appointee to the high court, has emerged as a crucial justice on the nine-member bench, shaping the contours of oral arguments and often providing a key vote for the decision in a case.
