A Hawaii Supreme Court justice criticized conservative SCOTUS members and vowed that Hawaii will defy a high court ruling in defiance of Chief Justice John Roberts' conservative majority. In a scathing rebuke, the justice used a recent decision to overturn a decades-old criminal conviction as an example of the court's increasing polarization. The Hawaii justice suggested that the state will 'absolutely' comply with federal law if it is 'obviously unconstitutional', implying resistance to the ruling. This statement reflects growing tensions between liberal and conservative states regarding the interpretation of federal law.
