| Abstract: | The article analyzes the recent U.S. Supreme Court term, emphasizing that the six Republican-appointed justices do not consistently follow originalism nor vote as a unified conservative bloc, unlike the three Democrat-appointed justices who often vote together. It highlights two June 29 decisions—Trump v. Slaughter, which applied originalism to affirm presidential removal power over executive officers, and Trump v. Cook, which used pragmatism to exempt Federal Reserve governors from that rule—illustrating the justices’ varied interpretive approaches. The article also notes other cases where Chief Justice John Roberts and some conservative justices joined liberal justices to form majorities, resulting in fluid coalitions rather than predictable ideological outcomes. This methodological diversity among conservative justices means the court’s decisions do not consistently align with a single political or jurisprudential philosophy. [Extracted from the article] |
