Barrett Confirmation Can Usher In a New Age of Constitutionalism

As Amy Coney Barrett takes her seat on the Supreme Court, much will be made of the new “6-3 conservative majority.” That is a flawed observation for two reasons. First, the inclusion of Chief Justice John Roberts in that majority is proving to be a dicey presumption.
This is why the prospect of future 6-3 rulings bodes well not just for conservatism but for the nation. Justice Barrett is now a ***backstop*** for those days when John Roberts loses his way. This majority may at times strike down laws Republicans have crafted with the support of conservative voters. If such laws do not pass constitutionalist muster, that is a proper result.

Isn't is a shame we even NEED a backstop.
