Justices

A rise in disinformation in the digital media age was cited this month by two Supreme Court justices, who questioned whether a landmark libel case should be reconsidered.

During the first day's session, more than 20 red-robed justices listened patiently as the opposition spent hours arguing its case. The court adjourned late Monday without issuing any formal ruling.

The vote was 7‒2, with liberal justices Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer joining the majority. The two other liberal justices on the court — Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor — dissented.
