Kagan Defends Court as Check, Not Puppet | Charlotte News
Description
Justice Elena Kagan defends the Supreme Court’s independence amid growing public skepticism, arguing that despite its conservative tilt, the Court routinely checks presidential power—rejecting key executive actions like tariffs and birthright citizenship rulings. She contrasts this with the president’s public criticism of justices and highlights a surprisingly unceremonious visit by the president to oral arguments, underscoring that the Court operates without political favoritism. Kagan joins Chief Justice Roberts in pushing back against the notion that the Court is a puppet of the administration, emphasizing its role as a constitutional check—even when ideologically aligned with the White House.
