New arguments have arisen between the Supreme Court's liberal and conservative justices about the court's credibility after it overturned longstanding precedents
Liberal justice suggests recent decisions sap public confidence; Roberts and Alito say institution’s status stands above opinions
The Supreme Court did more than overrule Roe v. Wade and allow states to ban abortion. The court showed how it views rights that aren't explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. WSJ’s Jess Bravin explains.
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan, in a series of public appearances, said the court’s conservative majority had diminished the high court’s credibility with decisions that track Republican priorities. Chief Justice John Roberts, speaking at a separate event, retorted that the court’s decisions have no bearing on its legitimacy as it carries out its mandate to interpret the Constitution.
