On Monday, Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed as the new Supreme Court Justice with a 52-48 vote in her favor. Sworn in on Tuesday, Barrett has already seen her share of issues as she has already received a request for recusal from Pennsylvania county and has faced much criticism due to her ties to religious organizations such as the controversial People of Praise.

“She’s not a very liked figure, and she’s not really unbiased,” an anonymous senior said. “A lot of people are upset about her appointment.”

Another issue that has been pointed out is the fact that the appointment comes only days before the Presidential election. During president Obama’s term, he was disallowed from approving a Justice quite a few months before the 2016 election, but this decision seems to contradict the senate’s previous ideology. For the time being, Justice Barrett seems here to stay.
