Liberal circuit judge blasts SCOTUS conservatives, says Hawaii will defy high court

  • Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins authored a ruling that overturned a decades-old criminal conviction and sharply criticized the U.S. Supreme Court's conservative majority for weakening constitutional rights and democracy.
  • Eddins argued that Hawaii's Constitution offers stronger protections than the federal Constitution as interpreted by the current Supreme Court majority and accused the Court of ignoring landmark civil rights rulings.
  • The opinion criticized the Roberts Court for dismantling democratic safeguards and applying methods linked to discredited decisions, citing cases like Dobbs, Citizens United, and Bruen.
  • Legal experts responded with strong rebuke, calling the opinion unusually aggressive, lacking judicial restraint, and an indecorous attack on the legitimacy of the U.S. Supreme Court.
