Ep. 233: What Stephen Breyer Leaves Behind

Stephen Breyer has never been the kind of Supreme Court justice to make headlines with his opinions and dissents, but he set the legal world abuzz this week with news of his impending retirement, opening up a key vacancy within the court’s dwindling liberal bloc. Law360 reporter and The Term co-host Jimmy Hoover joins the show this week to unpack Breyer’s legacy as a jurist and what his exit means for the makeup of the court. Also this week, the high court takes up a closely watched affirmative action case and Cardi B prevails in her defamation suit against a Youtuber who spread salacious rumors about the hip-hop star. Finally, we dig into a bombshell class action demanding millions in restitution for Ana de Armas erasure.
