Monday round-up

Reporters and legal commentators turned their focus over the weekend to Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump’s nominee to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. At SCOTUSblog, Amy Howe reports on Trump’s announcement on Saturday (in a story first published at Howe on the Court), and Mark Walsh describes the scene at the Rose Garden nomination ceremony. SCOTUSblog has collected essential resources on Barrett and the confirmation process, and we will be adding to those resources in the coming weeks.

Here is a sample of additional coverage of Barrett, her jurisprudence and her potential influence on the court if confirmed:

• Adam Liptak of The New York Times on Barrett’s judicial record.
• Zoe Tillman of Buzzfeed News on how Barrett has ruled on abortion, immigration and policing.
• Noah Feldman in Bloomberg on why, despite Feldman’s disagreements with Barrett on “nearly everything,” she nonetheless deserves to be on the Supreme Court.
• Nina Totenberg of NPR on why Barrett is “the dream candidate for conservative Republicans and the nightmare candidate for Democrats.”
• David Rivkin and Andrew Grossman in the Wall Street Journal on Barrett’s originalism.
• Garrett Epps of Washington Monthly on Barrett’s views on stare decisis.
• Steven Mazie of The Economist on how Barrett’s nomination may “knock the Supreme Court off its ideological equilibrium for decades.”
• Tony Mauro of The National Law Journal on why Barrett’s husband, who is also a lawyer, could spur recusal issues for Barrett on the bench.
• Adam Carrington in The American Spectator on why the circumstances surrounding Barrett’s nomination are different from those in 2016, when Republicans blocked President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland.

Meanwhile, retrospectives on Ginsburg continue:

• Jeremiah Ho of the Human Rights at Home Blog on Ginsburg’s legacy of fighting against discrimination.
• Katherine Mims Crocker in the Richmond Times-Dispatch on what Ginsburg taught us, “both metaphysically and physically.”
• Two analyses of Ginsburg and the First Amendment: Ron Collins at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education on Ginsburg’s free speech jurisprudence, and David Hudson in Freedom Forum on Ginsburg’s record on the establishment clause, commercial speech, and First Amendment issues in copyright law.
