Description

In the latest episode of the Passing Judgement podcast, we delve into a variety of legal cases and hot topics currently on the Supreme Court's docket. We're rejoined by David Savage, one of the nation's experts as we unravel the intricacies of these captivating legal matters.Here are three key takeaways from the episode:1️⃣ Diverse Perspectives on the Supreme Court: Contrary to popular belief, not all conservative justices on the Supreme Court think the same way. While they may have made conservative rulings on issues like abortion and affirmative action, there are notable differences among them, reflecting a range of conservative views. 2️⃣ The Impact of Regulatory Laws on Gun-Related Offenses: The case involving Hunter Biden's gun-related offense sheds light on the existence of various regulatory laws and their potential impact on other gun-related prosecutions. This case has the potential to initiate a significant Second Amendment discussion in the Supreme Court, prompting considerations of history, tradition, and the scope of constitutional rights.3️⃣ Social Media Regulation: With different states having varying views on what content should be allowed on social media platforms, the issue of government regulation becomes complex. The episode explores recent cases where Trump-appointed judges in different circuits had differing opinions on states' authority to regulate social media. The Supreme Court's decision in this matter could have wide-ranging implications for free speech, censorship, and states' rights.Follow Our Host:On X formerly known as Twitter: @LevinsonJessica
