Justice Barrett Faces Backlash from Trump Allies Over Key Rulings

Barrett authored a ruling allowing states to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day, which Trump criticized as a 'tremendous loss'.
She sided with the court's liberal justices in a birthright citizenship case, prompting accusations of being a 'turncoat' from conservative commentators.
Despite recent criticisms, Barrett has voted with the conservative majority in 10 out of 13 major cases involving Trump this term.
