“To preserve our civil liberties,” Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch remarked in an address last week, “we have to constantly work on being civil with one another. . . . In a very real way, self-governance turns on our ability to try to treat—to try at least to treat—others as our equals, as…

It's the weirdest feeding frenzy of the week that doesn't include the words "Sergey Kislyak." It's Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's twice-a-week workout.

Clarence Thomas has been on the Supreme Court for a quarter-century. And Jeffrey Toobin has loathed him for nearly all twenty-five of those years. For more than two decades, the New Yorker author and CNN pundit has written of Thomas time and time again in only the most contemptuous terms.

Justice Clarence Thomas's critics have long slandered him as "lazy," simply because he only rarely asks questions during oral arguments. But such criticism is entirely misguided, especially when one considers that Justice Thomas is the Court's most prolific opinion-writer, year in and year out (as…

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg again feels compelled to urge the Senate to vote on President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the seat held by the late justice Antonin Scalia. At an event this week for incoming law students at Georgetown University, Ginsburg said the Senate should vote on…

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s recent outburst against Donald Trump has been roundly criticized by people of all political stripes. Insofar as her comments suggested a clear bias about cases that could come before the Supreme Court, they were clearly a mistake and a departure from the norms of Court…

President Barack Obama opined that Republicans are on the verge of ruining the Supreme Court nominating process for all time, writing in the Wall Street Journal that their treatment of Merrick Garland "will effectively nullify the ability of any president from the opposing party to make an…

One of the stranger incidents in the modern history of the Supreme Court unfolded this past week when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told a New York Times reporter, “I can't imagine what the country would be with Donald Trump as our president," and was accelerated with a further dose of acid about…

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg expressed "regret" Thursday morning for commenting on the presidential election in multiple recent interviews.

Evidently Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn't like that her colleague Sonia Sotomayor has recently surged past her to become the most popular Supreme Court justice among denizens of the Internet left. Justice Ginsburg granted an interview to the New York Times over the weekend seemingly designed to shore…

Pope Francis spoke before Congress Thursday, and numerous politicians lived up to their most iconic moments. 

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made news recently, when she said—bragged, it seemed—that she and her fellow liberals on the Court were going out of their way to stifle their individual voices in high-profile cases. When the liberals find themselves on the losing side of a case, she explained, they…

Like many Americans, Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg napped through a portion of the president’s 2015 State of the Union address. This was hardly important news—she was caught napping during the 2013 address, too—but the story made a splash anyway, helped by a widely circulated…

At yesterday's oral argument in King v. Burwell, the solicitor general made a surprisingly partisan quip about Congress. It caught many commenters' attention, including law professors Michael Greve and Josh Blackman. As the transcript reads:

Jesse Byrnes of The Hill writes that:

Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared to fall asleep during President Obama's lenghty State of the Union address:

"Ruth Bader Ginsburg Is an American Hero," reads the headline in the New Republic. But despite talking to an "American Hero," Jeffrey Rosen, the magazine's legal affairs editor, still wants to know whether the Supreme Court justice will hang up her robe.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsuburg is defiant: She is not stepping down. Ginsburg made the comments in a recent interview with Elle magazine.

After a surprising run of 9-0 decisions, the Supreme Court ended its year the way we've come to expect: with hotly contested 5-4 splits. Most importantly, the Court finally decided Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, the closely watched fight over whether the Health and Human Services Department can force…
