Amy Coney Barrett has CLEARLY stated that she would recuse herself from any case where the constitutional answer contradicts Catholic teaching, such as the death penalty or open borders.

Catholic Judges in Capital Cases by Amy Coney Barrett

https://scholarship.law.nd.edu/law_faculty_scholarship/527/

The Catholic Church's opposition to the death penalty places Catholic judges in a moral and legal bind. While these judges are obliged by oath, professional commitment, and the demands of citizenship to enforce the death penalty, they are also obliged to adhere to their church's teaching on moral matters. Although the legal system has a solution for this dilemma by allowing the recusal of judges whose convictions keep them from doing their job, Catholic judges will want to sit whenever possible without acting immorally. However, litigants and the general public are entitled to impartial justice, which may be something a judge who is heedful of ecclesiastical pronouncements cannot dispense. Therefore, the authors argue, we need to know whether judges are legally disqualified from hearing cases that their consciences would let them decide. While mere identification of a judge as Catholic is not sufficient reason for recusal under federal law, the authors suggest that the moral impossibility of enforcing capital punishment in such cases as sentencing, enforcing jury recommendations, and affirming are in fact reasons for not participating.

Rushing over Barrett.... She has too many conflicts and questions, her commitment to the rule of law is in doubt looks like a female Roberts, and we already have a female Roberts on the SCOTUS.

Not at all. I've seen at least half a dozen pics of her since RBG's demise.

She has already said she would recuse herself from cases where the legal ruling would contradict her religion. Death penalty and open border cases are a biggy. She can't be trusted on SCOTUS.
