Summary

On Monday, Politico released a draft version of a decision written by Justice Samuel Alito that would strike down Roe V. Wade. The leak of a draft decision is a huge break in the norms of the court as is the decision to overturn Roe. To discuss the fallout from this leak and what it means for the Supreme Court, David Rothkopf was joined by Dahlia Lithwick of Slate, Barb McQuade of the University of Michigan, and Steve Vladeck of the University of Texas. What was most significant about the draft decision? Where do we think the leak originated? Are there other potential precedent cases that could be overturned? The answer to these and other pressing questions on this thoughtful episode. Don't miss it! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.
