Constitution Crisis: A SCOTUS Term Preview
Manage episode 343019362 series 2930729
While this U.S. Supreme Court term shouldn't result in as many sweeping decisions as the last, which upended nationwide abortion rights and gun control precedents, it'll be far from a lightweight season. The court's cases are varied: from redistricting to artist integrity to the legality of the Indian Child Welfare Act, which gives tribal governments jurisdiction over the adoption and foster care of Native American children.
In this episode, we break down some of the heavyweight appeals the court will hear with the help of our very own Kelsey Reichmann.
First, we delve into two cases that could affect elections for decades to come, deciding whether states should take race into account during redistricting and if legislatures should be the ones to draw those lines or if the courts have any say in the process.
The Supreme Court will also weigh in on a copyright dispute between the Warhol Foundation and Lynn Goldsmith over a photo she took of the artist Prince that Andy Warhol used as a reference in several prints. Another case rooted in the visual arts comes to the court from Colorado. A website designer is challenging the state's Anti-Discrimination Act, saying it violates her First Amendment rights by forcing her to serve LGBT couples.
Last, we lay out the Indian Child Welfare Act, what is at stake over its continued legality, and what the law means to tribal governments, courts and their people.
Special guests:
- Sophia Lin Lakin, interim co-director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Voter Rights Project
- Mitchell Brown, counsel for voting rights at the Southern Coalition for Social Justice
- Amelia Brankov, attorney and chair of the Art Law Committee of the New York Bar Association
- Kathryn Fort, director of clinics at the Michigan State University College of Law
- Angelique EagleWoman, law professor and director of the Native American Law and Sovereignty Institute at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law
