A panel of lawyers and journalists discuss the Supreme Court hearings on Monday in the case about gay marriage. What do you think this new court under Trump is going to reshape it, reshape this decision? I don't know. They're going to try to chip away while using all kinds of all means of excuses. It's been a bad week for Donald Trump. Some evangelicals are slower to back him this time than they were in 2016. People seem to think that he has a patina of shame. Well, I think he's just lost his mind.
It’s been a bad week for Donald Trump. Herschel Walker lost the Georgia Senate runoff and a New York jury found the Trump Organization guilty of criminal tax fraud. But the former President (and current presidential candidate) still has something to look forward to: a busy conservative Supreme Court which has three Trump-appointed justices. Today, Kara and Nayeema discuss two of the cases the court heard this week. One focuses on a North Carolina election law case that could upend democratic protections in states like Florida, Arizona and Michigan. The other is about free speech and gay marriage and is close to Kara’s heart.
In the interview, Kara speaks to a panel of experts about this very case: 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, a free speech case brought by a web designer who doesn’t want to be penalized for not providing wedding websites for same-sex couples. She explores the impact this case could have with Louise Melling, Deputy Legal Director at the ACLU and Director of its Ruth Bader Ginsburg Center for Liberty; Dale Carpenter, the Judge William Hawley Atwell Chair of Constitutional Law, and Professor of Law at Southern Methodist University; and Sasha Issenberg, Washington correspondent for The Monocle and author of “The Engagement," about the battle for same sex marriage in America.
Stay tuned until the very end when Kara rants about how a onesie became a symbol of something far more important.
