Barrett's comments come as ethics issues have dogged some justices — including fellow conservatives Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito and the liberal Sonia Sotomayor.
“Public scrutiny is welcome,” Barrett said. “Increasing and enhancing civics education is welcome.”
“You’re not waiting once a day to read your print newspaper,” she said. “You’re seeing things come across your phone all the time, and you’re seeing pictures of people.” “People just didn’t recognize who the justices were,” Barrett said. “I think that’s better. I don’t think justices should be recognizable in that sense.”“Justices and all judges are public figures and public criticism comes with the job,” Barrett said. “I’m still kind of new at this.”
