Holding
Matt Walsh's June 30, 2026 post attacks Justice Amy Coney Barrett — a Trump appointee — from the right, characterizing her as a "DEI hire" comparable to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and demanding accountability from Republican presidents for producing non-originalist Supreme Court picks. This post is notable in its constitutional framing: it is not a defense of a political ally but a demand for constitutional accountability regardless of who appointed the offending justice. Under the AFCS, this accountability function is constitutionally correct — the Constitution applies to Republican nominees and Democratic nominees alike, and demanding originalist fidelity from Republican-appointed justices is an application of Article VI constitutional principles and Article IX accountability obligations.
