Tensions at the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is facing heightened tensions among the justices, impacting the pace of decision-making and deepening divisions within the court. In 2022, the leaked controversial Dobbs decision created a sense of personal distrust and lack of good faith among the different wings of the court. Disagreements are now more visible in legal opinions and are slowing down the decision process.
