Evidence Claim
Rehnquist Court overturned 12 precedents between 1990 and 2000, challenging the 8-precedent baseline claim.
Alternative counts of the 1990-2009 period suggest the baseline figure of 8 overturned precedents undercounts actual reversals, reducing the claimed increase.
Main 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.
