Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas Are on Collision Course

Simmering tension between U.S. Supreme Court justices Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas are likely to come to a head in an upcoming gun case.

As Newsweek previously reported, Coney Barrett showed her strong disapproval of Thomas's analysis during oral arguments in United States v. Rahimi, a case that will decide whether people under a domestic violence civil restraining order have a right to own a gun. A decision is expected on Thursday and Friday, when clear differences between the two conservative justices are likely to be seen again.

Rahimi was placed under a domestic violence restraining order after assaulting his girlfriend when she tried to leave his car, then fired a warning shot at a passer-by who sought to intervene.
