Description
The US Supreme Court issued its highly anticipated rulings in cases involving the abortion drug mifepristone and so-called bump stocks, with cases on presidential immunity, the administrative state, and the Jan. 6 Capitol attack pending. Cases and Controversies hosts Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler break down the six cases the justices decided last week, including an under-the-radar trademark dispute involving former President Donald Trump. Last week’s rulings brought the total number of cases decided for the term to 38, meaning there are 23 left to do before the justices wrap up for the summer.
