This was crystallized Monday night at the Swissotel in Chicago, where she spoke for just three minutes to several hundred judges and legal professionals gathered for the Seventh Circuit Judicial Conference.Her remarks, though short, were optimistic and warm. She urged the courts to keep their sense of "camaraderie and professionalism" despite inevitable, sharp disagreements. This, she said, is "what enables the judicial system to work well." Barrett smiled fondly as she remembered her time on the 7th Circuit, where she served for several years prior to her nomination to the Supreme Court. She introduced the next speaker, who took the stage to another standing ovation.And just as quickly as she entered the packed ballroom, she was gone.BARRETT EVISCERATES JACKSON, SOTOMAYOR TAKES ON A 'COMPLICIT' COURT IN CONTENTIOUS FINAL OPINIONSAs the youngest justice on the bench, Barrett's ideology over her nearly… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Schiff launches legal defense fund in response to claims Trump is ‘weaponizing’ justice ...Sen.
