The quote is the very last paragraph. The media is so annoying. I often don't read articles from start to finish anymore. I scan them to find the bit that finally gets to the fucking point.

The one recent exception that proved the rule was on the case determining if Trump can be barred from state ballots under the 14th amendment. The ruling that only the federal government can make that call, not the states, was bipartisan. However, the liberal justices plus Barrett dissented on the majority ruling that it was explicitly up to Congress to decide that.

The majority was clearly punting it to protect Trump as there’s no way it could pass in the current government. And the liberals didn’t like the “legislating from the bench” aspect. But I think Barrett realized, this was shooting themselves in the foot to remove that power from the court if it would be useful for their authoritarian, right wing ruling council project of the Supreme Court down the line.
