The View co-host Sara Haines argued on Monday that Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett shouldn’t recuse herself in an LGBTQ case before the nation’s highest court.
Given her Catholic beliefs, Barrett has faced calls to recuse herself in a case involving a web designer, Lorie Smith, who refuses to create websites for same-sex weddings since same-sex marriage goes against her faith. Smith wants to post a message on her website affirming this.
Previous members of People of Praise, a Christian group that Barrett is part of, have called for Barrett to recuse herself from the case, 303 Creative LLC v. Aubrey Elenis. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the case on Dec. 5.
