Independence and moderation
Hey @Deegs11! Let's talk about 4 edits. The edit removes a cited claim proportional to press coverage that Barett demonstrates "a growing pattern of independence and moderation", justified in the edit summary with 'Regardless of one's ideological views, in no way has ACB shown any sign of "moderation" or "independence."' Per what I cited, that is not what we do here. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view demands that we cover all significant views proportionally (though note "significant" and "proportionally" means this isn't WP:FalseBalance).
Additionally, you reordered the sentence to make the conservative bloc the focus instead of the swinging, which is contrary to the sources' presentation and thus WP:Synthesis. (I realize that I have erred in my edit summary saying this is a new conclusion, but Synth still applies.) The 
Newsweek (RSP entry) source you added does swap the focus in its first paragraph, but that's all of its analysis, and even combined with the two other sentences supporting this viewpoint in the article this pales in coverage proportion compared to the other sources, especially since half of this article is devoted to her swing votes, including ~2 sentences of people attacking her for deviating, which would add to the view of independence. It also does not provide anything for removing the "independence and moderation" part. Aaron Liu (talk) 22:11, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
Amy Vivian?
There is a clear error in Barrett's name. Her current name is just "Amy Coney Barrett". Her maiden name is "Amy Vivian Coney".
See her SJQ, when she was appointed to the Supreme Court
As we know, a married woman normally drops her middle name in the US and uses her husband's surname alongside her own. 2804:D41:F858:D400:B82C:77AC:EF23:B3CB (talk) 23:28, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Supreme court section request
Could someone please add a subsection for immigration and link the recent decision about trumps executive order? ~2026-30307-98 (talk) 05:04, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
