Sure, it’s ideology to some extent. But she’s impeccably qualified for a Supreme Court seat. Gee, what else could it be?

The Roberts court is taking up cases with phantasmal litigants and speculative complaints. But how it resolves them could have a massive impact on American life.

Biden’s Supreme Court nominee met with Senate leaders on Wednesday, kicking off what Democrats hope will be a quick confirmation process.

The judge will be the first Black woman nominated to the high court, as well as the first federal public defender.

By taking a flier on a plaintiff whose First Amendment rights have only been hypothetically violated, the high court may avoid having to consider the rights of those who might face anti-gay discrimination.

The high court’s next justice won’t be on the winning side of many major cases. But even in defeat, she might sow the seeds for future victories.

Long before the 6–3 court hands down rulings, the cases it chooses to hear have a tidal effect on the nation’s ideological drift.

Conservatives are suddenly hopping mad that their opponents decided to play the game by the GOP’s rules.

Judge Michelle Childs’s unique background would lend a diversity of experience to the high court. It has also left her vulnerable to critics.

Does the all-but-certain promise of a “yes” vote from Graham—along with Jim Clyburn’s support—make Michelle Childs the odds-on favorite?

Despite what Republican critics would have you believe, the president’s candidates to replace Breyer are eminently qualified.

They just can’t help themselves.

The soon-to-retire justice lost his fight to abolish the death penalty. His courage keeps alive the possibility that some future court might yet win.

How will the law work in a world where the high court is making up the rules as it goes along?

The GOP can slow down the confirmation process for Stephen Breyer’s replacement, but the Democrats almost certainly have the votes to confirm her.

And it should probably be Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is far more qualified than Clarence Thomas was when he was nominated. It’s time to fight.

The Supreme Court justice is retiring in time for the Democrats to replace him with a much younger judge: a Black woman, if Biden keeps his campaign promise.

Conservative legal activists looking to roll back the legal remedies for historical racial discrimination couldn’t ask for a more accommodating high court.

The Supreme Court justice refuses to recuse himself from cases in which his right-wing activist wife, Ginni, has a clear interest. The Democrats should punish him for it.

Neil Gorsuch’s recent invocation of the “major questions doctrine” has ominous implications for anyone not keen on watching the government drown in dysfunction.
