Ep. 256: Lessons From A Historic Supreme Court Term

A Supreme Court term that by any measure was historic has concluded, and it takes a village of podcasters to untangle everything that happened. So this week, hosts from Pro Say team up with the hosts of The Term to discuss this momentous term. We take a look at the conservative supermajority’s turn toward originalism and the shifting power dynamics among the justices. We also dive into the biggest decisions of the term, from a trio of rulings about religion to a climate change fight that has big implications for administrative law, to blockbuster opinions on guns and abortion. And we end the show with a look at how the so-called “shadow docket” along with the abortion ruling leak and a break from stare decisis are causing some to question the court’s legitimacy moving forward.
