“I was faced with a choice: I could either jump over the fence or go ahead and give them the satisfaction of photography,” he said. After it was finally confirmed that she would take over the position of late Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, her first congratulatory phone calls came from Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, she said. Ryan asked Barrett about the balance of her life – with the jugglers of her job, her marriage and her seven children. She said she and her husband, Jesse, face the same challenges as other couples “who both work and have children at home”. He said they have shared childcare responsibilities and at times were stretched out weak throughout their marriage. She noted that since her husband is also a lawyer, they are very careful to avoid professional conflicts. “It’s something we are very aware of and very careful about,” he said. This prompted Ryan to ask her if there should be court instruction on what “working spouses should and should not do.” “I do not think most spouses would be very happy with these instructions,” he replied. “Certainly, when I try to give my husband instructions on what to do or not to do at home, even that does not go very well,” she said with a laugh. Barrett’s question and answer were specific to her situation, but they came as Judge Clarence Thomas and his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, a conservative activist, dominated the news circle after reports surfaced that the selection committee of Parliament investigated on 6 January. In 2021, the US Capitol Uprising has more than a dozen text messages between Ginny Thomas and former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. The messages, according to sources, were exchanged between early November 2020 and mid-January 2021. Surveyed by CNN, they show Ginny Thomas begging Mendous to continue fighting for the reversal of the election results. The revelation of the text messages between Thomas and Meadows, both allies of former President Donald Trump, comes as progressives and some legal experts see her activism as a potential conflict of interest for Clarence Thomas’s work in some Supreme Court cases. . Barrett was not asked about the altercation Monday night. She confirmed that she was writing a book and her speech was interrupted for a while by a protester. “As a mother I am used to distractions and sometimes outbursts,” she said jokingly. He seemed to discourage the idea of cameras in the Supreme Court room, noting that “people do not behave the same when they know there is a camera.” “Cameras are a uniquely difficult subject,” he said. She recalled the days she lived in Indiana before her candidacy, where she was a law professor and later a federal high court judge. She said she valued her precious friends, “for whom I am just Amy”. Many Democrats are still furious that Republicans pushed for Barrett’s confirmation in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election after blocking hearings of then-President Barack Obama candidate Merrick Garland in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. elections. Barrett, replacing the liberal Ginsburg icon, consolidated the court’s conservative majority. Monday’s speech came during a brief adjournment of the Supreme Court as judges hear significant differences, including Roe v. Wade, as well as a major second amendment case.
