Barrett says justices ‘wear black, not red or blue’ in response to partisan critics in Fox News interview

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett portrayed opposition to the Supreme Court’s party, telling Fox News’s Brett Baier that the Justice “wears black, not red or blue” and follows the constitution, not politics.

She appeared on Fox to promote her new book, Listen to the lawand address the public’s perceptions about the work and independence of the courts.

Barrett stressed that the court is not divided into party teams. She also defended her presidential powers, clarifying the right Dobbs and reflects her primitive judicial philosophy.

Her book introduces details such as allocated seats, court traditions, and the gap between external perception and internal reality.

“You know, we don’t wear red and blue, we both wear black because the judge is nonpartisan. The idea is that we’re all listening to the law. We’re all trying to make it right. We’re not working for the team,” she told Bayer. “We don’t sit on the bench left and right. You know, we’re sitting in the order of qualifications.”

Barrett stressed the disconnect between public awareness and the internal functioning of the court, noting:

“I often ask new legal staff, what surprises you most when you start? One of the most common answers is the difference between what happens inside and what people think is happening inside.”

Barrett’s response was to put the work of the court in a historical context and stressed that cases concerning the president’s power exceeded anyone in any office.

“We not only decide the case today, but we are not deciding the case based on the president,” Barrett said. “As the occupiers of the current office, we are deciding the case of the president. So we are accepting every case and we are studying the issue of presidential power. And the case we decide today will be important.
