Conservative Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett has secured a $2 million advance for a forthcoming book, according to Politico.

Three publishing industry sources told Politico that Barrett's book will focus on "how judges are not supposed to bring their personal feelings into how they rule," a major theme from her 2020 confirmation hearings.

Barrett, 49, may have broken a record for the most lucrative book advance won by a sitting Supreme Court justice, according to freelance journalist Yashar Ali.
