Conservatives fume over the Justice Barrett siding against Trump on foreign aid freeze

Amy Coney Barrett sided with John Roberts and three liberal justices to require the Trump administration to pay nearly $2 billion in foreign aid reimbursements, countering the administration's efforts to freeze these payments.
Barrett faces backlash from conservative groups after this decision, but she has historically supported significant conservative causes, according to Ed Whelan, a conservative lawyer.
Critics, including Jack Posobiec, labeled Barrett as a disappointment, arguing that her vote reflects deeper issues regarding Republican commitments to certain values, while other conservatives defended her track record.
The Supreme Court's ruling reinforces the tension within conservative circles over foreign aid, prompting some to question Barrett's alignment with Trump's agenda.
