The Trump-appointed justice has shifted the court to the right, but she has angered some in MAGA world by voting against some of President Donald Trump's priorities.

Summary

MAGA has turned on Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, after she sided against Trump in two recent 5-4 rulings.

Online critics accuse her of disloyalty, with some even calling her a “DEI judge.”

Barrett has consistently ruled in favor of conservative causes but has occasionally taken a more independent approach. However, Trump supporters expect personal loyalty from the justices.

The backlash mirrors previous attacks on judges ruling against Trump, raising concerns about threats and judicial independence.

    I especially love how this decision was 5-4 that the government has to honor a contract it signed, and the MAGA folks are upset that the government can’t simply scam everyone and everything.

      In addition, I believe some if not all of the contacts in question were completed on the vendors side. This is an attempt at the biggest dine and dash in history.

        That’s correct. This was entirely to pay for work done before the Stop Work Order, with contracts already in place, money obligated and ready to go.

        Dine and dash is the perfect comparison.
