U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan stated on Thursday that the high court is not a rubber stamp for President Donald Trump. Speaking to an audience of lawyers and judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Bellevue, Washington, the liberal justice addressed the court’s current ideological composition.
While acknowledging that the Supreme Court is deeply conservative, Kagan emphasized that this alignment does not mean the institution functions as an automatic supporter of the president’s agenda. Her remarks served to characterize the court's independence despite its current makeup.
