Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief. Justice Amy Coney Barrett stepped into the public spotlight this week when she argued on behalf of the court’s non-partisan decisionmaking at the University of Louisville’s McConnell Center, founded by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. Barrett criticized media coverage of the court’s decisions—confirming a court trend identified in a recent study. The amicus briefs are pouring in on the term’s Second Amendment case. We have a veteran advocate’s personal reason for joining one of them. And scroll down for the latest in the term’s big abortion case.

Thanks for reading. Your feedback is welcome and appreciated. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
