Justice Amy Coney Barrett Embraces Public Scrutiny of Supreme Court

Justice Amy Coney Barrett stated at a judicial conference in Wisconsin that she welcomes public scrutiny of the Supreme Court but did not comment on whether the court should change its operations in response to recent criticism. Barrett acknowledged the low public trust in the court and the increased scrutiny it faces due to the availability of immediate information. She mentioned that while public criticism comes with the job, justices should not be recognizable figures. Barrett also highlighted the positive aspect of increased public engagement with the court's work but expressed concern about potential misimpressions. The conference took place amidst calls for an official code of conduct for the justices.
