| Subject: It’s Now the Barrett Court Tue Oct 27, 2020 5:33 pm | |
| It’s common to identify eras of Supreme Court history by reference to the name of the presiding chief justice, but the Court’s dynamics can change with the appointment of each new member. With the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett, we may now be entering the era of the Barrett Court. Her arrival is likely to have the most profound effect on the nation’s highest court since simultaneous appointments of William Rehnquist and Lewis Powell in the 1970s and the replacement of Thurgood Marshall by Clarence Thomas in the early 1990s.
The most obvious consequence will be the presence of six justices appointed by Republicans and only three appointed by Democrats, where the Republicans are all more conservative than the Democrats. To win a case where the Court is split on ideological lines, the more liberal justices will have to pick off not one but two from the conservative wing—a daunting feat.
