VP Harris attacks ‘activist court,' says the loss of rights post-Roe has led to ‘suffering’
Ben Kamisar -
Vice President Kamala Harris denounced the current Supreme Court as "an activist" body in the wake of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe vs. Wade.
"I think this is an activist court," Harris told NBC News' Chuck Todd, moderator of Meet the Press, when asked about polling that shows the nation's confidence in the court hitting a low.
"We had an established right for almost half a century, which is the right of women to make decisions about their own body as an extension of what we have decided to be, the privacy rights to which all people are entitled. And this court took that constitutional right away, and we are suffering as a nation because of it."

Harris went onto say that as someone who has been "inspired by people like Thurgood Marshall," and by the work of Chief Justice Earl Warren on court decisions like Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (which struck down school segregation), the court's actions cause her "great concern about the integrity of the court overall."
