Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is “captured by far-right conspiracy theories,” according to law professor Leah Litman. She sat down with Salon, breaking down what she thinks is breaking the high court.

“The Supreme Court has been running on these fast and loose characterizations of the facts for a while,” Litman said. “We all can have a good laugh at the idea that "Uncle Bobby's Wedding" is a personal attack on people who don't believe in marriage equality. But the uncomfortable reality is that a conspiracy theory-laden universe is in full swing at the Supreme Court.”

President Donald Trump doubled down on his displeasure with the Supreme Court Friday morning.

“THE SUPREME COURT IS BEING PLAYED BY THE RADICAL LEFT LOSERS, WHO HAVE NO SUPPORT, THE PUBLIC HATES THEM, AND THEIR ONLY HOPE IS THE INTIMIDATION OF THE COURT, ITSELF. WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN TO OUR COUNTRY!” The President posted on Truth Social.

Reacting to conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett jumping in and siding with liberal Justice Elena Kagan during a hearing on birthright citizenship, a CNN analyst noted her tendency of late to deviate from the policies of the man who gave her a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

Sitting on a panel with host Audie Cornish, CNN analyst Edward-Isaac Dovere sat and listened to clips of Coney Barrett grilling Donald Trump's Solicitor General John Sauer about the president's executive order which is at the heart of the historic legal case.

Following the clip, host Cornish asked, "I'm going to translate a little. There's been this conversation about whether there can be kind of class action lawsuits, and that's the way people can get relief rather than going to a judge in any particular state. But it's the tone, right? Let's pretend we don't know the words, but the tone of her jumping in and saying, are you really going to do that? What did you hear in these moments?"

"I would say that from years of watching or listening to supreme court proceedings and trying to guess where they're going, we should all learn that," Dovere offered. "It's a tricky game."

"Amy Coney Barrett was put on the Supreme Court by Donald Trump," he reminded the panel. "She is a has a pretty strong record of voting in the way that one would expect a Trump nominee to vote. On decisions she has diverged a little bit, but not in this way that gets her –– that seems to me to validate this idea that she has completely left the Trump side."

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett set off a firestorm among conservatives on Thursday morning after she admonished Donald Trump's solicitor general for ducking questions from colleague Justice Elana Kagan.

During the oral arguments over birthright citizenship, Kagan pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer to make the case for Trump's executive order and shot down one answer by telling the attorney, "I mean, that's a lot of words and I don't have an answer for if one thinks — and, you know, look, there are all kinds of abuses of nationwide injunctions. But I think that the question that this case presents is that if one thinks that, it's quite clear that the [executive order] is illegal, how does one get to that result?"

Solicitor General D. John Sauer was placed under fire from Supreme Court Justices Sonya Sotomayor and Elena Kagan at the so-called “birthright citizenship” hearing.

“You said to us we'd have to wait until there was a final judgment,” Sotomayor said. “You're not sure you would respect the judgment of every circuit. You're not sure that you would respect even a final judgment of the Supreme Court.”

Donald Trump's true intentions have been revealed when it comes to his immigration policies, a former federal prosecutor has said.

Ex-prosecutor Joyce Vance, who frequently comments on the president and his legal matters, weighed in ahead of a Supreme Court hearing connected to the Trump administration's attempt to roll back the notion of birthright citizenship.

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts recently made some comments that many interpreted as a criticism of Donald Trump, but he's still not doing enough to protect the judiciary from MAGA, a former federal prosecutor has said.

Ex-prosecutor Joyce Vance had some harsh words for Roberts, who she thinks is doing a good job speaking up for judges but not on defending democracy itself from the president.

The U.S. Supreme Court has in some instances failed to issue negative orders against Donald Trump, but that could happen very soon, a legal expert said on Sunday.

Legal expert Norm Eisen, who worked in the White House as special counsel and special assistant to the president for ethics and government reform, is also known for being a thorn in the president's side.

With more than 300 lawsuits against President Donald Trump, Democratic Attorneys General, federal employee unions, and liberal advocacy groups say they’re digging in for a long fight.

This includes New Jersey’s Attorney General Matthew Platkin. “If they think we’re going to get tired and stop, that’s not gonna happen,” Platkin told Bloomberg.

The Supreme Court is clued in to Donald Trump's plan to undercut their power, an ex-prosecutor said on Saturday.

Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance over the weekend posted an essay explaining the various deportation cases in which Trump's administration is involved. As part of that explainer, Vance sounded the alarm about what she sees as Trump's agenda.

A conservative talk show host drew fire from all sides after suggesting Donald Trump and his administration should simply "ignore the Supreme Court" and potentially even "dissolve" it.

Jesse Kelly, who in 2021 openly speculated that Republicans may soon get tired of "following the rules" and "pick a fascist" to lead the party, has also been criticized for his prior social media comments.

A key White House official is insulting Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts, Jr., and the nation's top jurist should know, a legal expert said on Saturday.

It all started with the Supreme Court over the weekend temporarily halted the Trump administration's deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members under an 18th-century law.
