Supreme Court's Back; And There's A Lot

WTMJ’s Kristin Brey is joined by former U.S. Attorney James Santelle and retired Milwaukee County Judge Mary Kuhnmuench to break down the new U.S. Supreme Court term, starting with Louisiana v. Callais, a case challenging the Voting Rights Act,, then they dive into other major cases on the docket—including one targeting conversion therapy—and what they reveal about the Court’s priorities. The conversation also touches on the Hatch Act controversy involving Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and the ongoing legal battles over redistricting. Later in the show, Kristin speaks with OBGYN Dr. Kristin Lyerly about the complex legal landscape surrounding abortion care in Wisconsin and how federal policy shifts are affecting patients and providers. The episode wraps with a look at the State of Working Wisconsin Report from UW-Madison’s High Road Strategy Center, examining how Wisconsin workers are faring in today’s turbulent economy and where the data comes from.
