"Let's see, so, conflicts between the president and the judiciary are not new, Barrett said. They existed between Andrew Jackson and the Supreme Court. Even Abraham Lincoln, you know, there was some conflict. There was some conflict between FDR and the Supreme Court. So, I think that when we talk about the separation of powers and the balance of power and there being a tug and a pull between the branches of government this is a dance that we've seen before."
"The conservative justice sided with liberals Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor on a case in March that rejected Trump's effort to rescind a lower court order to pay out $2 billion in foreign aid, according to ABC News. Barrett also joined the liberals in part in dissenting over an order that tossed out the appeal of Venezuelan detainees sent to El Salvador in defiance of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in April."
Justice Amy Coney Barrett expressed little concern about President Trump's combative remarks toward the judiciary during a forum. President Trump told Laura Ingraham he would not defy court orders but criticized judges as "bad judges" and raised the question of dealing with a "rogue judge." Barrett compared executive-judicial conflicts to historical disputes involving Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, describing separation of powers as a recurring tug-and-pull between branches. Barrett, a 2020 Trump nominee, drew conservative criticism after siding with liberal justices in several recent cases involving foreign aid and detainee appeals.
