Description
Amarica’s Constitution is 50 - 50 episodes, that is. The Supreme Court isn’t done with abortion yet, as it marks our “silver episode” unveiling with a pair of rulings on the Texas abortion law, SB8. The rulings themselves may not be long remembered, but the opinions contained sentences that shocked Professor Amar. In a happy coincidence, the Friday rulings coincided with a Friday taping, and we happened to have a special guest - Ed Whelan, creator of the well-known “Bench Memos” legal blog and Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. We dissect the very revealing statements by Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Sotomayor, and others, on an eventful day.
