    Supreme Court Term to Have Lasting Impact With Few Blockbusters

    The Supreme Court term was limited in its blockbusters this year, but the decision to limit the power of lower court judges to issue nationwide injunctions will have the biggest impact, attorneys and legal scholars say. “It affects how cases get litigated in a big way,” said Anastasia Boden, a senior attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation, a libertarian public interest law firm. "I saw someone say 'We're all class action attorneys now, right?' because that's all we've got." Boden joins “Cases and Controversies,” along with Georgia State University College of Law professor Eric Segall to discuss the recent term, its rulings, and the justices that stood out the most. Hosts Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler also talk about the court’s recent emergency order that allows President Donald Trump to move forward with plans to reduce the size of the federal workforce.

    Justices End Term with Split Decisions and Powerful Dissents

    The Supreme Court closed out its term with a string of rulings that divided the justices. The court split 6-3 along ideological lines in opinions June 27 that limited the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions and gave parents the right to opt their children out of classroom instruction that violates their religious beliefs. Cases and Controversies hosts Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler dig into the term end blockbusters and discuss the powerful dissents that accompanied them. In one, Justice Sonia Sotomayor fired back at a majority ruling from Samuel Alito by reprinting a children's book in what it appeared to be its entirety.

    Busy Opinion Season in Full Swing at the Supreme Court

    The Supreme Court is chipping away at the mound of argued cases it has to decide before the justices break for summer. The court has 21 cases left after releasing its latest batch of opinions. Those included a unanimous decision that revived a lawsuit brought by a family against the government after the FBI mistakenly raided their Atlanta home. Disputes over a Tennessee ban on gender affirming care for transgender minors and nationwide injunctions against President Donald Trump's effort to restrict automatic birthright citizenship are pending potential blockbusters. Cases and Controversies hosts Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler talk about the court’s recent rulings, a software malfunction at the court that could have been problematic, and the emergency requests from the Trump administration that could keep the justices busy well into the summer months.

    Trump's Tariffs Likely to Land On Justices' Shadow Docket Soon

    The justices have already had a deluge of emergency requests from the Trump administration, and another is likely to land before them soon involving the president's tariffs. Lower courts have temporarily ruled against the tariffs using doctrines recently revived by the Supreme Court's conservative majority to frustrate policies of Democratic administrations. The Trump administration has signaled it will bring the case to the high court. Cases and Controversies hosts Kimberly Robinson and Greg Stohr discuss those cases as well as other actions by the court. Do you have feedback on this episode of Cases and Controversies?

    Justices Focus on Feasibility of Birthright Citizenship Limits

    The practicalities of birthright citizenship being restricted in some states but not others appeared to be a concern of key justices on the US Supreme Court. President Donald Trump has asked the justices to narrow lower court rulings that blocked his executive order limiting automatic citizenship to babies born with at least one parent who’s a citizen or permanent resident. Cases and Controversies hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler discuss Thursday's arguments and highlight the exchanges that seemed to show the justices are wary of letting Trump start enforcing his restrictions.

    Justices to Consider Procedure in Birthright Citizenship Suit

    The Supreme Court will sit for a special session May 15 to hear a challenge to President Donald Trump's birthright citizenship order. The merits, however, are not before justices at this time. Instead, the court will consider the scope of relief temporarily available to the parties, and in particular whether federal district courts can enjoin a policy nationwide as to all persons affected. Joining Cases and Controversies hosts Kimberly Robinson and Greg Stohr is University of Virginia law professor Amanda Frost, a leading expert on both birthright citizenship and so-called nationwide injunctions.
