Supreme Court justices are color blind. They do not vote red or blue; they follow the U.S. Constitution.
That is what Justice Amy Coney Barrett told Fox News’ Bret Baier in an interview Monday night.
“You know, we don’t wear red and blue, we all wear black because judges are nonpartisan. And the idea is that we are all listening to the law. We’re all trying to get it right. We’re not playing for a team,” she said. “We don’t sit on specific sides of the bench, left and right. You know, we sit in order of seniority.”
Barrett was on Fox News to promote her new book, “Listening to the Law.” The book provides a glimpse into how the court functions. This includes assigned seating, courtroom traditions, and the gap between outside perception and inside reality,” the outlet reported.
She also talked about how there is a disconnect between reality and the public’s perception.
“I often ask new law clerks what surprised you most when you started? And one of the most common answers is the difference between what’s happening on the inside and what people think is happening on the inside,” Barrett said.
She also addressed those who believe justices have an allegiance to President Donald Trump
