The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned approximately two-thirds of the decisions it reviewed from the conservative 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this term. This trend highlights the Supreme Court's nuanced stance, which may be slightly more centrist compared to the 5th Circuit. Far-right lawyers and lower court judges have interpreted recent Supreme Court signals as a green light to advance their agendas. Justice Kagan has also voiced significant criticisms of the conservative supermajority in her recent public remarks. According to the EmpiricalSCOTUS blog, nine of the 50 challenges heard this term by the justices originated from the 5th Circuit, and the high court reversed the 5th Circuit about 66% of the time. Adam Feldman, Supreme Court scholar and creator of the EmpiricalSCOTUS blog, noted this pattern.
