the evidence

Citizens United v. FEC overturned Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce in January 2010.

The Court reversed its 1990 precedent restricting corporate political spending, fundamentally changing campaign finance law at the start of the 2010-2023 period.

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.
