Summary

Elie Mystal, justice correspondent for The Nation, host of its new podcast Contempt of Court with Elie Mystal and the author of Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution (The New Press, 2022) now in paperback, talks about the final opinions on the last day of this Supreme Court term. In 6-3 decisions with Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson in dissent, the Court ruled it would violate a woman's free speech rights to have to design a wedding website for a same-sex couple and struck down Pres. Biden's student loan forgiveness program.
