Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett Receives Standing Ovation at Federalist Society Event Amid Ongoing Ethics Probe

Barrett Reflects on Time on Bench and Affirms Court's Collegiality while Attending Federalist Society Gala amid Senate Judiciary Committee's Investigation into Supreme Court Ethics Controversies.

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett received a standing ovation at a Federalist Society event, reinforcing the organization's influence on judicial nominees. Each of Trump's three nominees, including Barrett, participated in these events.
Despite the ongoing Senate Judiciary Committee probe into Supreme Court ethics, Barrett attended the Federalist Society Gala alongside conservative justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh.
Barrett briefly reflected on her time on the bench at the event, emphasizing the collegial relationships among the Supreme Court justices. She negated suggestions of political bias within the court which have led to growing public distrust.
During her speech, Barrett shared personal anecdotes and stories from her tenure on the court and her life outside of it. She also touched on the transition from being a law professor to being a Supreme Court justice with a security detail.
Barrett's appearance came amid public debates regarding Supreme Court ethics. The Senate Judiciary Committee is currently investigating conservative activist Leonard Leo, a longstanding leader of the Federalist Society, as part of this probe.
