Amy Coney Barrett, Supreme Court nominee, is Scalia’s heir

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — Although Amy Coney Barrett is the president’s choice to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she is more aptly described as heir to another departed Supreme Court justice: conservative hero Antonin Scalia. She said of Scalia: “His judicial philosophy is mine, too.” Her nomination sets Barrett on the path to help conservatives hold sway over the court for decades. On Saturday, Barrett also referenced the close friendship between Ginsburg and fellow opera lover Scalia, saying Ginsburg showed that justices can disagree on principles “without rancor in person.” Before becoming a judge, Barrett discussed how court precedents provide welcome stability in the law. “Once a precedent is deeply rooted,” a 2017 article in the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law, which Barrett co-wrote, said, “the Court is no longer required to deal with the question of the precedent’s correctness.” But it added: “None of this is to say that a Justice cannot attempt to overturn long-established precedent.
