Wade, Alan Dershowitz advocates for the same concept, calling the overturning of Roe “judicial activism.” Today on The Cloakroom, Senator Ted Cruz joins Liz to explore whether Dershowitz or Roberts are right in their call for judicial restraint and examine the legal reasons that may dismantle the Chief Justice’s arguments. Plus, will we ever find out the identity of the leaker?
