The revelation will put pressure on some Republican senators who are facing tough re-election battles, including Susan Collins, the Maine Republican who has said she is pro-choice.

In a statement to the Guardian, the White House said: “As Judge Barrett said on the day she was nominated, ‘A judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policymakers, and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold.’”

The statement appears to reflect an acknowledgment that Barrett’s personal views on abortion could hurt her chances at confirmation.

St Joseph County Right to Life is considered an extreme anti-choice group by pro-choice activists in South Bend.

Alumni at Barrett's undergrad school sign letter of concern

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wire...ncern-73403626

Quote:

Signed by 1,513 alumni and posted online, the letter says the alumni are “firmly and passionately opposed to her nomination," declaring Barrett fails to represent their views and values.

“We are likewise firmly and passionately opposed to Rhodes administrators’ attempts to embrace Amy Coney Barrett as an alumna of our beloved alma mater,” the letter said. “We oppose this embrace because we believe both her record and the process that has produced her nomination are diametrically opposed to the values of truth, loyalty, and service that we learned at Rhodes.”

What One Scrapped Opinion Might Say About Judge Barrett

https://www.law360.com/articles/1316104

Quote:

James Wing, who chairs an American Bar Association section subcommittee on D&O Liability Insurance, said that the initial Emmis opinion might not have been a fluke at all. Rather, it may reflect an overzealous commitment to textualism on Judge Barrett's part.

"To me, it looked like she adopted this textualist reading of an insurance policy, with all this complexity, and said, I don't care what the rest of the arguments are as a textualist," he said.

He said that she boiled the entire case down to two words — "as reported" — and her strict reading of those words in a vacuum, apart from other established law. But it's fundamental and well-known in insurance law that if a policy is ambiguous, it is interpreted in favor of the policyholder, he and other insurance attorneys said.

"I could very easily imagine a scenario where somebody would say, 'Is this textualist, hyper-literalist interpretation the way you decide cases?'" Wing said. "That's the broader emanation from this. And it's very disturbing."
