Vice President Kamala Harris slammed the Supreme Court and Justice Clarence Thomas over recent decisions, decrying the high court as “an activist court.”
Harris slammed the Supreme Court in an interview with the New York Times published on Thursday, pointing to the 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, as she and President Joe Biden campaign for another term with abortion as a key topic.
“This court has shown itself to be an activist court,” Harris said. “I worry about fundamental freedoms across the board.”
She did not offer specific decisions she feared could be reversed, claiming she did not want to sound “alarmist,” but said that “this court has made it very clear that they are willing to undo recognized rights.”
Harris pointed to Thomas’s concurrence in the Dobbs decision, in which he pointed to other decisions by the high court in which he believes justices went beyond the Constitution to establish alleged rights.
