Description

This week a draft opinion penned by Justice Samuel Alito was leaked revealing that the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to strike down the landmark 1973 ruling Roe v. Wade that made abortion legal nationwide. We devote our entire show to exploring this potential seismic shift in American jurisprudence. We’re joined by a guest with special insights into abortion cases at the high court, Kathryn Kolbert, a reproductive rights attorney who argued before the Supreme Court in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. She shares her thoughts on not just the future of abortion, but also the potential fate of other civil rights that rest on the same legal framework including contraception, same-sex marriage and interracial marriage. And finally, we turn to the intrigue surrounding the leak itself: who could have released the document, what can we expect from the pending investigation, just how rare are Supreme Court leaks in the first place, and how will it all impact trust in the nation’s highest court.
