WASHINGTON — Justice Amy Coney Barrett heard her first Supreme Court argument (https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/2020/19-547_8n6a.pdf) on Monday, asking assured and probing questions in a case on the Freedom of Information Act.
Justice Barrett joined the court last Tuesday, a little more than a month after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/18/us/ruth-bader-ginsburg-dead.html) and the rushed and contentious confirmation process that followed President Trump’s nominating her.
But Justice Barrett sat out several major election disputes last week, saying she had not had time to review the parties’ filings. She also did not participate in the justices’ private conference last week, saying she needed time to prepare for this week’s arguments.
And with the court hearing arguments by phone on Monday because of the pandemic, Justice Barrett did not join her colleagues on the bench and take the junior justice’s traditional seat on its far right. But Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. did start Monday’s session by greeting the newest justice.
