Hawaii justice lashes out at Roberts Court, warning of democracy’s erosion

Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins used a 91-page Granillo ruling to blast the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority, arguing the Roberts Court has weakened constitutional protections and democracy through its originalist approach, citing decisions like Dobbs, Citizens United, Rucho, Trump v. United States, and Bruen, and asserting Hawaii’s constitution offers stronger protections while criticizing the Court’s influence on state rights and civil liberties.
