Some legal and political commentators claim that the Supreme Court has bent over backwards to appease or affirm the Trump Administration.

In recent remarks before the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference, as reported by Politico, Justice Elena Kagan rejected this common narrative.

"I don't see this as a court that is just like, 'We're just going to rubber stamp what the current administration does.' You know, quite the opposite," Kagan said to a judicial conference here Thursday.

Kagan, a liberal justice and Obama appointee, said the 6-3 decision scuttling Trump's tariffs was extraordinary.
