The makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court and the cases they are hearing are no accident – right-wing political groups and billionaire zealots have played the long game to shape America’s judicial system in their image. Lisa Graves, a legal expert who has carefully tracked these actors for decades, reveals the dark money and special interests behind the cases manufactured for the Court. With decisions imminent, the Supreme Court could deliver more blows to reproductive freedom, voting rights, the government's ability to tackle critical issues such as consumer protection and climate change, and more.  Follow this season of Grave Injustice to understand what’s really behind these cases –  and what's at stake.

    A Right-Wing Conspiracy Overturned Roe, Then Came Back for More.

    After Roe was overturned, anti-abortion activists funded by right-wing billionaires got right to work - constructing and funding a lawsuit that would go after Mifepristone, a pill that is used in nearly two-thirds of abortions in the United States. The Supreme Court of the United States is now on the cusp of a decision that could decide the future of the medication. The case is FDA v. the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. In the first episode of this limited series, hosted by Lisa Graves, Grave Injustice charts the path of this case to the high court and uncovers  the actors and groups behind the scenes that manufactured it and what else they have in mind.  You’ll hear from:  Bex, Storyteller Lauren Jacobson, Aid Access, Raise Global Health Sarah Lipton-Lubet, President, Take Back the Court Renee Bracey Sherman, Founder and Executive Director, WeTestify Mary Ruth Ziegler, Martin Luther King Jr. Professor of Law at UC Davis Randall Balmer, John Phillips Professor in Religion, Dartmouth University Grave Injustice is a production of COURIER and Court Accountability.

    Should Violent Domestic Abusers Be Allowed to Possess Guns?

    The US Supreme Court will soon be deciding if violent domestic abusers can legally own and possess guns. Unfortunately, you read that right…  The defendant in the case United States v. Rahimi is clearly a violent individual. In 2020, a judge issued a restraining order against him on behalf of his ex-girlfriend after he threw her onto the pavement of a parking lot, dragged her into his car, and then shot at a bystander he noticed nearby. The restraining order barred him from possessing firearms. Still, he carried out five different shootings around Arlington, Texas. After all that, cops searched his home, found guns and ammo that he wasn’t supposed to have, pressed charges, and Rahimi was convicted.It was an open and shut case - until it wasn’t.  Listen to find out how the Supreme Court kicked the door open for a violent individual such as Rahimi to potentially legally own and possess guns. In this episode you’ll hear from:  Ruth Glenn, survivor and President, Survivor Justice Action Shira Feldman, Director of Constitutional Litigation,  Brady United Kelly Roskam, Director of Law and Policy, Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions Dominic Erdozain, author, One Nation Under Guns: How Gun Culture Distorts Our History and Threatens Our Democracy Angela Ferrell-Zabala, Moms Demand Action Grave Injustice is a production of COURIER and Court Accountability.

    The Rollback and Ongoing Threats to Voting Rights

    Back in October of 2023, The US Supreme Court heard a case involving an electoral map that has been proven in a court of law to be racist. That was in Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP.  Since the nation's highest court failed to deliver an expedited ruling in, South Carolinians are going into the 2024 election with this racially gerrymandered map. The consequences of a ruling in this case could not only change the course of the 2024 election, but it could undermine democracy itself.  Listen as we explore a decades long effort to chip away at the 14th amendment and the Voting Rights Act in an effort to strip minority communities of their political power. Links to Newsletters mentioned in the breaks: FWIW, Stop The Presses.

    Small Fish Case Masks Billionaire Backer’s White Whale

    Earlier this year, the Supreme Court heard a case that, on its face, is about fishermen who disagree with a government fee. But behind it is a group of billionaires led by one of the richest men in America. This episode will explain how they propped up this case and why, if the Supreme Court takes their bait, it could destroy a foundational legal doctrine that helps government agencies keep giant corporations in check. The stakes in this seemingly small fish case could not be bigger. In this episode, you'll hear from:  Christopher Leonard, investigate journalist and author of Kochland: The Secret History of Koch Industries and Corporate Power in America David Doniger, Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council  Nancy MacLean, American historian and author of Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)  Grave Injustice is a production of COURIER and Court Accountability.

    Presidential “Immunity” and Creeping Authoritarianism

    Trump v. The United States is about presidential immunity — the idea that a president is immune from prosecution for their actions as president even after they leave office. The Supreme Court of the United States is weighing whether or not the president can get away with say…inciting a violent insurrection or conspiring to overturn his own presidential election.  Listen to understand why even hearing this case is a gift to the criminally convicted, twice impeached former president, Donald J. Trump, and what it would mean for the Supreme Court to even partially accept his lawyer’s argument of “absolute immunity." Glenn Kirschner, former US prosecutor, MSNBC/NBC legal analyst and host of Justice Matters; and Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United and Let America Vote, join Lisa Graves for this episode.  Subscribe to this limited series wherever you get your podcasts including Apple and Spotify.

    A Supreme Court Term "For the Ages" (w/ Dahlia Lithwick, Michael Podhorzer, and Alex Aronson)

    In this final (bonus) episode of Grave Injustice, Lisa Graves is joined by three top legal experts to discuss the latest term of the U.S. Supreme Court which saw the court's six right-wing appointees shelter Trump for his crimes and bestow new, almost king-like powers on the executive, uphold flagrant racial gerrymandering, and upend a long-standing legal doctrine that has major implications for the federal government's authority in keeping our air and water clean, our food and drugs safe, our environment protected, and so much more. Dahlia Lithwick, who covers the courts for Slate magazine and hosts the podcast Amicus; Michael Podhorzer, senior advisor to the AFL-CIO, Founder of the Analyst Institute and the Research Collaborative, and author of the Substack “Weekend Reading;" and Alex Aronson, director of the legal advocacy organization Court Accountability and former chief counsel to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse; all join Lisa to share their insights on the term and the state of the US judiciary.  Subscribe to this limited series wherever you get your podcasts including Apple and Spotify.
