The Supreme Court's conservative majority has issued a series of consequential rulings that legal scholars say fundamentally reshape American law while claiming to preserve existing precedent, according to a new analysis published in The Atlantic.
Stanford Law's Duncan Hosie ...examines recent decisions affecting executive power, immigration, gun regulation, voting rights and corporate liability. The analysis argues that the Roberts Court has developed a pattern of presenting sweeping legal changes as routine applications of established doctrine.
"Using invocations of precedent to disguise rather than illuminate, the conservative justices pretend to preserve what they are overturning," Hosie writes, characterizing this approach as a "hallmark of the Roberts Court."
The analysis examines how the Court's treatment of precedent affects public trust in judicial institutions and the predictability of American law.
The Supreme Court is remaking the law while claiming to preserve the status quo.
