She didn't write the opinion, and the opinion is not an expression of support of lockdowns. The IL Republicans crafted an incredibly weak argument specific only to churches that does not pass constitutional muster.

I'd love to see one opinion that shows ACB is not a strict constitutionalist. I've actually written about one of her opinions for a legal audience, so I have a lot more trust in her.

Do you have a link to the tweet? I don't have time to search through Barnes' twitter

I didn't criticize ACB, I literally just asked for the Barnes tweet so I can see the argument against her.
In other words, sir.... This is a Wendy's.
Always trust the Scalia clerk.
He doesn't hire moderates. I'd be more concerned with Gorsuch and Kavenaugh than Coney Barrett, both of whom clerked for Kennedy.
