Can textualists judges like Amy Coney Barrett take a broad view of interpreting the Bible and a narrow view of interpreting the Constitution? The short answer is yes, writes Matt Malone, S.J.

When I am always angry and distraught, it is harder to be a good wife, mother, writer, Christian. The full throttle news life makes me a worse person, and it’s voluntary.

As I watch Amy Coney Barrett’s resilience and composure during the confirmation hearings, I wonder if I, too, could live a bit louder as the woman I am.

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett was called “unashamedly pro-life” by her Republican Senate champion with Democrats running out of time to stop her quick confirmation.

"My policy preferences are irrelevant," she said when asked if she had intended to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and she reiterated this same view when asked about abortion and same-sex marriage.

Franklin Roosevelt tried court packing in 1937. It was a bad idea then, and it is a bad idea now, Matt Malone, S.J. writes.
