Justice Kagan warns Supreme Court can forfeit legitimacy when overturning precedent

She stressed that she was not talking about any particular decision or even a string of rulings with which she disagreed.

The 62-year-old New Yorker struck a different tone from Chief Justice John Roberts, who spoke to a gathering of judges and lawyers in Colorado Springs, Colorado, last week. The chief justice has been a consistent defender of the court's legitimacy against complaints that the court is not much different from the political branches of the government.But Kagan said the court risks damaging its own legitimacy when big changes in the law follow changes in the court's membership.

Three of the justices who are part of the court's conservative majority were appointed by President Donald Trump. They voted to overturn Roe, and also imposed limits on the Biden administration's efforts to fight climate change, expanded gun rights, and weakened the separation between church and state.

She called a press meeting to say just that? Well, I'll know who else to believe next time.

In reducing United States population growth by over 60 million, the need to overturn Roe was obvious.

Isn’t it just amazing. Liberal judge says NOTHING when rulings go their way. When more conservative Judges look at existing rulings and find they don’t meet the constitutional intent they revise portions of these or rule that government can’t do certain things.

Slavery, women not given the right to vote, the world is flat was once precedent. What actually is a constitutional right is the question.

Dredd Scott would like a word.

Look at cases they actually took up and recently ruled on makes it seem so.. guns in NY, climate change, allowing corporations to pollute , Church & state separation and oh ye abortion ..all seem in line with Republican platform..maybe their opinions might have political biases
