A former president criticized the Supreme Court for rejecting efforts to limit mail-in voting in recent elections, accusing justices who opposed his legal challenges of lacking legitimacy in his eyes. The remarks came after the court declined to intervene in a case seeking to restrict expanded voting methods, leaving in place rules that had been implemented for broader participation. The statement reflects ongoing tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary over election policies. Critics may question whether such personal attacks undermine public trust in judicial independence.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday went after the Supreme Court after it rejected his push to restrict mail-in voting in this year's midterms, saying justices who opposed him were "not the people I interviewed."
