Roberta Kaplan, the lawyer known for beating Donald Trump while representing writer E. Jean Carroll (and her work on the landmark LGBT rights case United States v. Windsor), slammed the Supreme Court for handing the president a string of legal wins in recent months.
In a rousing speech Tuesday at the latest Power 100 luncheon hosted by The Daily Beast Chief’s Creative and Content Officer Joanna Coles, Kaplan called out the court’s conservative majority for repeatedly siding with Trump.
“The problem is, as you all know, is the Supreme Court, for reasons that we could speculate or debate about for hours, has given Trump wins in the vast majority of the cases, which are on what’s called a shadow docket—cases decided without any full briefing or argument on kind of an emergency basis,” Kaplan said to a crowd of nearly 100 top female industry leaders at the New York City restaurant Marea. “Why? I wish I knew the answer.”
