Season 3, Episode 40 (Show 144): Have Kavanaugh, Will Travel

September 27, 2023

The Court prepares to sit for the new term, and the Dobbs decision continues to reverberate.  We look at the aftermath and where the law, the Court, and the country are headed in its wake.

It’s almost October, and the Supreme Court readies to hear a new set of cases.  The Roberts Court seems defined above all by the Dobbs decision at this point.  The opinion, authored by Justice Alito, has been exhaustively dissected, but looking forward, we see various states taking further and more extreme actions.  What role will the so-called swing justices, some of whom wrote concurrences in the case, play in the litigation that the new developments will likely spawn?  What of the dire predictions of many pundits in the aftermath of the case?  And what about Amarica’s Constitution – what did we say, and what say we now? Travel the road with us.
