Amy Barrett Says Catholic Faith Would Have No Bearing On Her Decisions As A Judge

U.S. Circuit Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a socially conservative Catholic, has been mentioned since late 2017 as a potential Supreme Court pick, most recently as a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, should she retire. During her confirmation hearings, Barrett insisted that while she was a devout Catholic, her religious beliefs would not have any bearing on her decisions as an appellate judge.
