Justices Show Anger and Frustration

USA Today: “The court’s four liberals have displayed irritation at its new, more conservative majority – including once in the middle of the night. And some of the five conservatives are showing impatience with the incremental pace of change.”

“This term, tempers have frayed on a variety of issues, from workers’ rights to the sanctity of Supreme Court precedents. In April, the court voted 5-4 along ideological lines to block workers from banding together in arbitration disputes. The four liberal justices were so incensed that each wrote a separate dissent. Their feud with [the] majority opinion featured what Scott Nelson of Public Citizen Litigation Group, which represented workers seeking to sue as a class, called ‘pointedness in the punctuation.’”
