Justice Amy Coney Barrett Rejects Bid to Halt Construction on Obama’s Presidential Library
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett rejected a bid from a Chicago-based environmental group begging the highest court of the land to intervene and halt construction of Obama’s presidential library.

The last-minute petition was submitted to Amy Coney Barrett because she oversees emergency appeals from the 7th Circuit, which includes Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.
Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, had the option to take action or refer it to other justices but she denied the petition.
The environmental group, Protect Our Parks, argued the federal government did not conduct the required assessment of the environmental impact Barack Obama’s library would have on migratory birds and wildlife.
