from Strict Scrutiny · host Strict Scrutiny
Do you feel that chill in the air? It’s almost the first Monday of October and that means a new SCOTUS term! You may still be recovering from the last one (don’t worry, we are too) but Melissa, Kate and Leah talk about some themes that we can expect this term like the crazy cases coming out of the Fifth Circuit and whether government (as we know it) is constitutional. They also go through the justices’ latest questionable, and in some cases egregious (Justice Thomas, we’re looking at you) ethical lapses. So pour yourself a Ginni Tonic or Hot Ginni Toddy now that it’s fall, and settle in for this week’s live show from the Texas Tribune Festival. Cases we’re watching:-Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America, Limited-Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo-Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy-Acheson Hotels, LLC v. Laufer-Harrington v. Purdue Pharma L.P.-Pulsifer v. United States-United States v.
