The Supreme Court\u2019s political divide is at its widest point in decades, with the rate of ideologically split cases more than doubling this term compared to the average rate since 2005. <\/p>\n

The court last month ended a politically fraught term marked by surprisingly public\u2014and at times personal\u2014disputes between the liberal and conservative justices. <\/p>\n

\n

Just days before the term concluded on June 30, liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor signaled her staunch disapproval of one of the conservative majority\u2019s decisions by reading her dissent from the bench, prompting an outburst from her ultra-conservative colleague Justice Samuel Alito that shocked veteran court watchers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The justices\u2019 increasingly tense interactions come as more cases have been decided along ideological lines, according to data compiled by . <\/p>\n

During the 2025-26 term, the six conservative justices voted together as an ideological coalition against the three liberal justices in 22.7 percent of cases, according to SCOTUSblog. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s compared with just 10 percent of cases decided along ideological lines between 2005 and 2024. <\/p>\n

The most recent term was dominated by President Donald Trump\u2019s second-term agenda, with the conservative justices backing the president in 84 percent of cases as of March, according to the legal watchdog group Court Accountability . <\/p>\n

A YouGov poll released this month found that Americans largely disapproved of the court\u2019s increasingly politicized decision-making, with many respondents saying the court\u2019s decisions this term have given Trump too much power. <\/p>\n

Overall, 50 percent of respondents said they disapproved of the way the Supreme Court is handling its job, compared with just 36 percent who approved. <\/p>\n

Nearly half\u2014or 45 percent\u2014said recent decisions had given the president too much power, compared with 29 percent who said the president had been given the right amount of power and 9 percent who said he\u2019d been given too little power.<\/p>\n

Among MAGA Republicans, 25 percent said the president had been given too little power. <\/p>\n

Sotomayor, 72, in particular has penned scathing dissents\u2014and hasn\u2019t been shy about repeating her criticisms during interviews. <\/p>\n

After the court allowed Alabama to adopt new congressional maps that multiple lower courts had held were unconstitutional, she blasted her conservative colleagues for \u201cdisregarding both democratic values and the rule of law.\u201d <\/p>\n

And in the most pointed show of disapproval open to justices, she read aloud her dissent, warning that \u201cmore people will die\u201d after the majority allowed the Trump administration to turn back asylum seekers at the border. <\/p>\n

The dissent invoked the Holocaust and lamented that the majority had \u201cregrettably and tragically extinguish[ed] the light of the torch of the Statue of Liberty.\u201d <\/p>\n

Her reading caused Alito, 76, who wrote the majority opinion, to shoot back, \u201cThere\u2019s much I would have added if I had known a dissent would be read from the bench,\u201d in what CNN\u2019s chief Supreme Court analyst called \u201ca very bitter response.\u201d <\/p>\n

Carolyn Shapiro, the co-director of the Chicago-Kent College of Law\u2019s Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States, told the Financial Times that it wasn\u2019t the first sign the justices were having trouble getting along. <\/p>\n

\u201cGiven how fast and how destructive of tradition, precedent, [and] practice the court\u2019s actions have been for the majority, it\u2019s not surprising\u2026 that emotions are probably running high on both sides,\u201d she said of the court\u2019s political divide. <\/p>\n

In April, Sotomayor took the highly unusual step of apologizing to conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh after she suggested that his ruling allowing immigration agents to question people based on their ethnicity, language, or place of employment was out of touch with reality. <\/p>\n
