PEN America rejects calls for the cancellation of a planned book by Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett. We have serious concerns regarding the increasingly ideological orientation of the Supreme Court and the risk it poses to the rule of law and the sanctity of the American legal system, bedrocks that underpin the protection of free expression and human rights. But if editors have concluded that a book by Coney Barrett who is by definition a highly influential figure as a justice of the nation's highest court is of value to audiences, that decision should not be overturned at the behest of protesters who reject Coney Barrett's views.
