Before her ascent to the federal bench, Amy Coney Barrett taught law for 15 years at the University of Notre Dame, where she gradated from law school. She also clerked for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative legend on the court, who like Barrett, subscribes to an “originalist” or “textualist” judicial philosophy in which constitutional questions are considered through the lens of the framers’ original intent.

Republicans expect President Trump to name Judge Amy Coney Barrett as the next nominee to the Supreme Court, according to a source with knowledge of the process, but the source cautioned that Trump could change his mind.

The source declined to be named, because the individual was not authorized to confirm the selection before the president announced it.

The White House declined comment.
