""I would like Americans to trust the institution of the court," she said, calling it "an institution that does operate with integrity.""
""I'm not saying that the court always gets it right. ... I don't think the court is above criticism or that I am above criticism or anything like that. But I do think Americans should trust that the court is trying to get it right.""
""To be in this job, you have to not care," she said, referring to the criticism."
""You have to have a thick skin.""
Justice Barrett asked Americans to trust the institution of the court and described it as operating with integrity. She acknowledged the court does not always get every decision right, said it is not above criticism, and urged public confidence that the court is trying to get rulings right. The conservative six-justice supermajority allowed a Texas abortion ban to take effect with Roe intact, struck down gun restrictions, weakened environmental protections, and expanded presidential immunity. Barrett said she endures attacks with a thick skin, avoids social media, and relies on her husband and an assistant on a "need-to-know arrangement." Paramount leaders are reportedly close to buying Weiss's publication and may install her at CBS News, a move tied to CEO David Ellison's earlier Skydance-Paramount dealings.
