U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan accused her conservative colleagues of forgetting the court’s elementary role within the nation’s three branches of government, writing in a landmark Supreme Court decision on Friday that “the majority disdains restraint, and grasps for power.”
Her scathing remarks were part of a dissent she wrote as the court’s conservative supermajority overturned 40-year court precedent in 1984′s Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council.
