Description
Guest: Edward Keenan, Washington Bureau Chief for the Toronto Star Last month, as Ketanji Brown Jackson made history as the first Black woman to be sworn in as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, the moment was almost overshadowed by a series of decisions by America’s top court that will change the very shape of the future. One after the other, the Supreme Court struck down abortion rights, rolled back gun restrictions in New York and severely curtailed the powers of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to regulate carbon emissions and counter global warming. Ed Keenan talks about the current shape of a Supreme Court that seems to be moving the United States staunchly to the right.
