"So far, we have seen little from either Barrett or Kavanaugh to justify conservatives' high hopes"

Author Ben Shapiro is expressing doubt over whether Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett will live up to conservatives' expectations – echoing concerns that have arisen since recent decisions. "So far, we have seen little from either Barrett or Kavanaugh to justify conservatives' high hopes for them," Shapiro told Fox News. "To be sure, they haven't engaged in David Souter-type liberal rulings, or Anthony Kennedy-style vacillation. But they have been markedly unambitious in their judicial approaches, most obviously in Fulton, which should have presented a clear opportunity to overrule Employment Division v. Smith, and in their unwillingness to accept the Barronelle Stutzman case."
