Both sides agree that Barrett is on the ballot with Trump on November 3. Only he, however, can be removed from office that day. What happens if the Democrats win a decisive victory? Will she view that as a vote of no confidence in her legal right-wing agenda, and tread cautiously, like Roberts? Or will she ignore the public will and plow straight ahead, in the manner of Thomas and Alito?
There is nothing in Barrett’s background or writings which suggests much flexibility. I’m guessing she’s the damn the torpedoes type. For the sake of the country, I hope I’m wrong.
