evidence: There is no public record, documentation, or media coverage quoting Barrett as having said that women should not be able to own, buy, or sell property without the permission of their husband or male relative. In the wake of the September 2020 death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal icon described as a pioneer for women’s rights, U.S. President Donald Trump rushed to fill her vacant Supreme Court seat less than two months shy of the 2020 general election. Trump's Sept. 26 nomination of conservative-leaning Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a Catholic professor of law at the University of Notre Dame who sat on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, sparked controversy and ignited the internet rumor mills. Among those rumors was the claim that 48-year-old Barrett (who is inexplicably referred to as "Amy Barrett Cohen" in memes such as the one below) said women should not be able to own, buy or sell property without the permission of their husband or male relative.
