Looking ahead to some of the most important Supreme Court decisions in years Politically Georgia

    • 政治

The U.S. Supreme Court is about to roll on rulings on a number of cases that will be of historic significance. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, host Bill Nigut and special co-host Tamar Hallerman look at some of the historically significant cases: Is Donald Trump immune from criminal charges for alleged crimes committed while he was in office? Two of the top cases the court will act upon Ask consequential questions: Were January 6 rioters who have been charged and, in many cases, convicted of criminal actions wrongly prosecuted under a law that should not have been used against them? Emory University Professor of Constitutional Law Fred Smith and Georgia State University Professor of Political Science Amy Steigerwalt weigh in on these pending decisions. 
  
AJC education columnist Maureen Downey also joins the podcast to look at a disturbing trend: Fewer college graduates are choosing to go into careers as teachers. Maureen cites numerous reasons for this and explains why a scarcity of teachers is harmful to student learning. 
  
Plus, MAGA Republicans are continuing to claim the Justice Department has been weaponized to attack Donald Trump even as President Biden’s son Hunter has now been convicted of three felony offenses that could lead to significant prison sentences.
