The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett cemented a conservative supermajority on the U.S. Supreme Court. This majority has actively worked against Democratic policies, overturning Roe v. Wade and outlawing affirmative action. Additionally, they dismantled Biden’s student debt relief plan. The court has reshaped interpretations of constitutional rights, focusing on a Christian-centric view of the First Amendment and expanding Second Amendment freedoms. Recent rulings also limit judicial checks on executive actions, effectively bolstering actions taken by Donald Trump.
The Senate confirmed Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 26, 2020, just days before voters rejected the president who nominated her by 7 million votes.
The Supreme Court's conservative supermajority has functionally overturned Roe v. Wade, outlawed affirmative action, and torpedoed plans for student debt relief.
