The Supreme Court judge urges the legal camaraderie in brief remarks of Chicago

Judge of the Supreme Court Amy Creey Barrett knows how to command an audience.

This was crystallized Monday evening at the Swissôtel in Chicago, where she spoke for only three minutes to several hundred judges and law professionals gathered for the judicial conference of the seventh circuit.

His short remarks were optimistic and warm. She urged the courts to keep their sense of “camaraderie and professionalism” despite inevitable and net disagreements. This, she said, is “which allows the judicial system to work well”.

Barrett smiled affectionately as she remembered her stay on the 7th circuit, where she served for several years before her appointment before the Supreme Court. She presented the next speaker, who went on stage to another standing ovation.

And as quickly as she entered the crowded ballroom, she left.

“Barrett, 53, is the youngest justice of the bench, and his record of almost five years on the Supreme Court has been the subject of furious speculation – and, sometimes, of pure and simple fury.”

The conservatives made a more moderate file than that of the late Judge Antonin Scalia, for whom she has once grafted. The liberals were exasperated by his reluctance to separate more coherent with the court judges of the court on abortion, federal powers and other fundamental affairs.

Barrett’s voting file is more moderate than that of Scalia, according to a June New York Times data analysis It revealed that she plays an “increasingly central role” on the ground.

Barrett used his time on Monday to implore the group of judges to maintain a feeling of grace, decorum and respect for colleagues, despite the inevitable and ancient disagreements that will occur.

The sense of warm idealism, although a little high, is the one that should be echo further in its next memories, “listen to the law: reflections on the court and the constitution”, provided for publication next month.

The theme of the remarks on Monday, insofar as there was one, stressed to work towards common objectives, to accept ideological differences and to embrace disagreements while keeping a wider perspective – a point echoing in Barrett and previous speakers who quoted David Brooks on several occasions by praising the public service based on the objectives.

The advantage of so many hours in disagreement, said Barrett, is to learn to find this balance.

“We know how to discuss well,” she said. “We also know how to discuss without letting it consume relationships.”

This was particularly true during the second term of Trump, because the Supreme Court chaired a record Blitz of emergency calls and orders filed by the administration and other parties injured in response to the hundreds of decrees signed during its first months in power.

The High Court ruled in favor of Trump in the majority emergency applicationsAllowing the administration to prohibit transgender soldiers in the army, at the end of millions of dollars in subsidies from the Department of Education and its dismissal of probationary employees through the federal government, among many other actions.

Even thus, it was Barrett who became the most spoken justice at the height of the high court this quarter, confusing and frustrating observers because they tried and do not predict how she would vote.

She was praised like the “most interesting justice on the bench”, a “pioneer” and an iconoclastic, among other descriptions.

On Monday, she pointed out that the common points among the judges, both for the 7th circuit and beyond, are much higher than the problems that divide them.

As for his own work, Barrett offered few details – his remarks started and ended in less time than it takes in the microwave a burrito.

We do not know if, or to what extent, the Barrett calendar may have changed at the eleventh hour, a reflection of the numerous requests imposed on the judges of the Supreme Court seated whose schedules are often subject to a change or a cancellation at any time.

The 7th circuit did not immediately answer Fox News questions as to what, if necessary, had changed on the side of Barrett.

Questions swirled when leaving. Had she planned longer remarks? Was the order of the day mishandle? Or does she save details for her memories and her tour of imminent books as a journalist suggested?

His appearance, full of irony, left observers with more questions than answers. It remains to be seen if it is for them in the coming weeks.
