Barrett Defends Court’s Independence at Nixon Library as Protesters Decry Immigration Ruling

A recent Supreme Court order on Los Angeles immigration stops brought demonstrators to her Southern California book-tour stop.

Overview

  • Justice Amy Coney Barrett appeared in Yorba Linda with commentator Hugh Hewitt to promote her memoir, “Listening to the Law.”
  • She told attendees the Court is “not one of the political branches” and said its work is driven by legal analysis rather than politics.
  • Barrett did not take audience questions and did not address pending cases during the event.
  • Dozens of protesters outside denounced the Court’s decision that lifted limits on immigration stops in Los Angeles.
  • Roughly 500 people attended as Barrett said she wrote the book to help Americans understand how the Court works and to build confidence in the institution.
