Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, now in her fourth term, is showcasing an independent streak that sets her apart from her conservative colleagues. Despite being a reliable conservative vote in high-profile cases involving guns, religion, and abortion, Barrett is increasingly favoring narrower rulings to promote compromise. This approach was evident in the court's landmark ruling granting former President Trump broad immunity from prosecution. Legal analysts, including Josh Blackman and Adam Feldman, are noting her willingness to diverge from the court’s most conservative members, surprising many who initially viewed her as a staunch conservative. Barrett's evolving judicial philosophy is positioning her as a new intellectual center of gravity on the Supreme Court. In a public appearance, she discussed this approach alongside liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
