the evidence

Warren Court overturned 45 precedents between 1953 and 1969, exceeding the 2010-2023 rate.

Historical comparison shows the Warren Court reversed precedents at a higher absolute rate over 16 years, contextualizing the 2010-2023 period as not unprecedented in Supreme Court history.

the claim

Supreme Court overturned 15 prior precedents between 2010 and 2023, compared to 8 precedents overturned between 1990 and 2009.

This claim asserts that the U.S. Supreme Court formally overruled 15 of its previous decisions during the 2010-2023 period, representing an 87.5% increase compared to the 8 precedents overturned in the preceding 20-year period from 1990-2009, suggesting an acceleration in precedent reversal.
