Theres a lot of important ways Amy Coney Barrett follows in her footsteps in terms of her leadership and pathbreaking career as a woman, as woman with the children and even accomplishing all she has as a scope and judge with Young Children but shows a different perspective in terms of how to interpret the constitution much like ginsberg goodfriend Justice Scalia for whom she cleared so she talked about being committed to looking at the text of the law and interpreting the text as it is written and leaving anyone any changes to the text that the legislature shop as well as obviously the constitution and we see on her role now as as a federal judge shes been very articulate about that and that careful to look at what does the constitution say and we dont interpret those words as a wish they were or as we feel like they should be updated.
