Liberal Justice Elena Kagan on Friday expressed hope that her colleagues on the conservative-dominated U.S. Supreme Court could get back to finding "common ground," saying it risked looking political by continuing to overturn legal precedents.
Speaking at an event at the University of Pennsylvania, Kagan did not explicitly reference the Supreme Court's decision in June to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
But Kagan, who dissented from that decision powered by the court's conservative majority, argued that judges and justices should be "humble" and respect past precedents interpreting laws and rights that people build their lives around.
"If you give people a right, and then you take the right away, well, in the meantime they've understood their lives in a different kind of way," Kagan said during a discussion with UPenn President M. Elizabeth Magill. "So law should be stable."

As such the incursion, usurption, was reversed recently Justices who understand their role and oath.
At no point does Kagan the Socialist/Maxist Superlegislator mention the constitution or her responsibility to interpret the law based on the framers intent.
There is your tell.
She is a globalist marionette in a black robe.
She continues to spread propaganda, poisening and aggitating the minds of young adults regarding the law, the purpose of the judicial branch and the role of the justices.
It’s called the Constitution. Do your damn job.
Justice Kagan wants to bring back Slavery, was political and wrong for the Court to overturn the precedent that allowed Slavery?
Hell, lets bring back Segregation too
Yeah. Just as long as they fall on the progressive side of any issue. Besides, branDUHn already let everyone know that none of those pesky things in the Bill of Rights is absolute.
Constitution be damned, she says!
No, they don’t need to find common ground. They need to defeat you leftist lunatics and your insane policies at every possible turn.
Typical leftist B.S. They don’t want “common ground”. They want conservatives to cave in to them. And they want to destroy the constitution.
Word needs to go out:
Kagan supports Dred Scott!
Kagan supports Plessy vs. Ferguson!
Maybe someone needs to ask Kagan when bad rulings need to be overturned. Even the Notorious RBG agreed than Roe was bad precedent.
Well then stop your dissents and join the majority.
“Justice Kagan wants to bring back Slavery, was political and wrong for the Court to overturn the precedent that allowed Slavery?”
Great point. Someone should ask her about that at her next anti-American key note speaker events.
What she means is that conservative judges need to vote with the communists on the bench.
I have absolutely no respect for her. Anything she says is to be ignored.
Translation: Conservative justices need to agree with me more.
I’m cool with segregation, since apparently any and everything I do is racist.
Sorry, Justice Kagan. Rights are only given by God. The founders understood that any right that can be given by man can be taken away by man.
I contend that the court finally found the common ground and ms elena is all butt hurt.
EC
No wonder the Democrats are upset. They had the right to keep slaves and then that right was taken from them. So now they fight to enslave us all.
correcting past mistakes is not being immodest
Leftists say things like that when they’re on the back foot.
Democrats false sense of entitlement emboldens them to attempt to define terms like democracy, common ground, climate to mean their politician wishes. Kagan, who never sat on a bench until SCOTUS wasn't crying about common ground before Trump. Probably quite the opposite.
