Barrett is sure she is completely right about everything and doesn't even entertain the possibility that she could have gotten anything wrong. She is arrogant and insufferable and can't see how badly she is hurting others. Her sin is Pride, but she will likely never see that.

Scrutiny, but not oversight. The asshole already got what she wanted.
I don't scrutinize the Supreme Court anymore.
I fully reject its legitimacy. They can inflict their will through state violence like any tyrannical governmental arm, but as an institution they have become an unapologetically corrupted tool of the oligarch class, just like the legislative branch that is supposed to check them.
American governmental institutions were envisioned as being empowered by the confidence and consent of the American people, Now it's just might makes right, comply or be dealt with, no different than the nations so many Americans still consider beneath us out of tradition.
How any American could have any confidence in our purchased institutions that doesn't come out of pure wishful thinking self-delusion/desperation is beyond me.
The public has a long history of being unable to move the Supreme Court. She just enjoys it more if we all scream and yell while they strip us of our civil rights. This is a Supreme Court Justice telling us to yell all we want, no one is coming to save us.
The legitimacy of SCOTUS, and the federal judiciary in general, hangs by a thread. It needs to be reformed, and the current justices need to retire, in order to restore any semblance of public confidence.
