Description

Guest: Edward Keenan, Washington Bureau Chief Protests erupted in Washington D.C. Monday night after a draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito leaked to Politico suggested the country's highest court might be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, the almost fifty-year-old landmark ruling that gave women the constitutional right to abortion. The document – which was circulated among Supreme Court justices and supported by Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, among others – is creating shock waves and could change the very shape of America's socio-political landscape for decades to come. Edward Keenan, The Star's Washington Bureau Chief, explains. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green, Brian Bradley and Matthew Hearn
