The Supreme Court’s Powers
On October 26, 2020,the same day the U.S. Senate confirmed by a vote of 52-48 President Donald Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court, she was sworn in at the White House.Â
On that occasion, Donald Trump told her:
Justice Barrett, as you take your oath tonight, the legacy of our ancestors falls to you. The American people put their trust in you and their faith in you, as you take up the task of defending our laws, our Constitution, and this country that we all love.
It is strange indeed that in a republic of 250 million citizens of voting age, the protection of their fundamental liberty should be declared by the president to depend upon the opinion of one unelected judge.
