Drawing on “details from the justices’ private memos, documentation of the proceedings and interviews with court insiders, both conservative and liberal,” a Sunday report published by The New York Times offered a window into the the justices’ decision making process on three major cases, including Trump v. United States, where the Supreme Court held former presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts taken in office. The report mainly targets Chief Justice John Roberts, highlighting his efforts to secure a consensus on controversial cases. …

In a Feb. 22 memo from Roberts to his colleagues, which was obtained by the NYT, Roberts critiqued the lower court for failing to “grapple with the most difficult questions altogether” in Trump’s presidential immunity appeal. He argued they should take up the case. …

In Fischer v. United States, Roberts took over authoring the opinion he had initially assigned to Justice Samuel Alito, according to the NYT. …

South Texas College of Law Houston professor Josh Blackman argued in Reason that the New York Times’ report was “far worse than the Dobbs leak” in 2022 …

“If Kagan is willing to publicly undermine her colleagues in a speech at the Ninth Circuit, why would she do any less off-the-record?” he wrote. …

Kagan publicly called for an enforcement mechanism for the Supreme Court’s ethics code in July, suggesting at the 9th Circuit judicial conference that lower court judges could enforce the code, according to CNN. Democrats have repeatedly called for an enforcement mechanism since the Supreme Court adopted a code of ethics last year. …
