McConnell Center hosts Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett

By Madelin Shelton —

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett thinks too many people believe the Supreme Court is highly partisan.

She made an appearance in downtown Louisville Sunday alongside Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) at the Seelbach Hilton.

The event was part of the U of L McConnell Center’s 30th anniversary celebration. U of L President Neeli Bendapudi and Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams also attended.

Before introducing Barrett, Senator McConnell praised the justice he is largely responsible for getting on the Supreme Court. “She’s an all-star. She is the only Supreme Court justice to not be from a school named Harvard or Yale,” he said.
