Amy Coney Barrett slammed as ‘Trump’s greatest mistake’ after infuriating grilling of top attorney
May 16, 2025 | Vivek Saxena

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is facing a new round of backlash from the pro-Trump right for fiercely grilling a Trump administration lawyer over birthright citizenship.

During oral arguments made Thursday, Barrett confronted U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer over the administration’s suggestion that it doesn’t follow certain lower court rulings.

“Did I understand you correctly to tell Justice [Elena] Kagan that the government wanted to reserve its right to maybe not follow a Second Circuit precedent, say, in New York, because you might disagree with the opinion?” she began.

Sauer replied that the “general practice” is to “respect those precedents,” but added that “there are circumstances when it is not a categorical practice.”

Barrett, in turn, demanded to know if this “general practice” is something the Trump administration came up with or is a long-time practice.

Precedents are worthless because they can be overturned or undone with a snap of the fingers. 

There's nothing like proper lawmaking, codification in law, and legal representation from the law firm of Smith & Wesson.

I lobbied hard for Barrett because she was the first nominee in many years not to have gotten her law school training at Harvard or Yale, I sincerely regret my error.
