Bustle: Here’s Where Amy Coney Barrett Stands On Crucial Upcoming SCOTUS Topics

On Oct. 26, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. What does that mean for America? Coney Barrett holds a conservative interpretation of the law and gives conservatives a 6-3 majority on the high court. And while it’s impossible to predict how someone will judge — Justice Gorsuch, after all, has sided with the court’s liberal members on issues of Native American sovereignty — her previous statements can offer clues as to how she’ll act.

According to a nonpartisan watchdog group, Accountable.us, Coney Barrett ruled against immigrants in 88% of her cases on the 7th circuit, siding instead with business or government. In a June dissent, she sided with the Trump administration, who wanted to block immigrants who didn’t meet a “wealth test,” meaning they could end up needing public assistance, such as Medicaid or food stamps.
