Savage has been a reporter for the LA Times covering the Supreme Court and other legal issues since 1986. One common misconception is the belief that the Supreme Court makes decisions based on politics, Savage said during the event. When questions were raised about the possibility of expanding the Supreme Court, Savage said the push to increase the number of justices would primarily be an attempt to restore more partisan balance within the Supreme Court. Savage added during the conversation that if former President Donald Trump is reelected, the Supreme Court will be challenged to embody the law. “It’s not every day that you get to hear from a reporter that covers the Supreme Court,” she said.
