When U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2020, MAGA Republicans and the Religious Right were delighted. Barrett is a self-identified “originalist” and a hardcore social conservative who considers the late Justice Antonin Scalia a judicial role model.Barrett’s confirmation was a game-changer, as the justice she replaced — the late Bill Clinton appointee Ruth Bader Ginsburg — was a liberal. And her social conservatism was very much in evidence when she voted to overturn Roe v. Wade in the 2022 ruling Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.But occasionally, Barrett will vote with the High Court’s three Democrat-appointed justices. And some MAGA Republicans, according to Newsweek’s Sean O’Driscoll, are furious with her for it.READ MORE: Right wing unleashes attack on Amy Coney BarrettThe High Court, in a 5-4 decision, upheld as constitutional President Donald Trump’s deportations of alleged gang members via the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. And Barrett joined Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan in her dissent.Sotomayor described Trump’s conduct with the deportations as “an extraordinary threat to the rule of law.” And on X, formerly Twitter, many MAGA Republicans are angrily railing against Barrett for voting with the Democratic appointees.Far-right MAGA attorney Rogan O’Handley tweeted, “While this Supreme Court victory for Trump allowing him to deport cartels is huge, it was only a 5-4 decision. Guess who joined the 3 liberal Justices to keep cartels here in America? Amy Coney Barrett.”MAGA Republican Catturd posted, “There’s nobody I have less respect for in the entire country besides Dr. Fauci than Amy Commie Barrett – Trump appointed her and gave her dream job and complimented her and praised her – and she’s been an ungrateful, backstabbing POS since day one. She got a million dollar Liberal book deal within weeks and her whole goal in Life is to be praised by the New York Times. Weak, coward, sellout, fraud. She’s everything that’s wrong with this country. She’s an Absolute disgusting fraud.”READ MORE: MAGA turns on ‘weak and timid’ Justice Barrett after key SCOTUS rulingSome of the tweets used sexist rhetoric to attack Barrett.X user Jeff Younger wrote, “All the men on the Court voted the law.
