Neil Gorsuch's Big, Dirty Abortion Game
Podcast: Boom! LawyeredPublished On: Mon Nov 08 2021
Description: It’s been a while since we’ve talked about what a bad dude Justice Neil Gorsuch is, and if you'd forgotten, the abortion double feature at the Supreme Court a week ago was a good reminder.Last Monday's two challenges to Texas SB 8 had some surprises and some predictable takes from the justices—Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan were obviously not having it, and Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh surprisingly seemed a little itchy at the idea that SB 8's bounty provision could be used to limit other rights.And Gorsuch? Well, he showed just how much he hates abortion.In this week's Neil Gorsuch episode of Boom! Lawyered, hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy get into Trump's first Supreme Court appointee to the bench—his dissents, his associations (hello, Federalist Society!), and how his questioning during last week's proceedings could be a path to dismantling Roe v. Wade.Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that Boom! Lawyered is only made possible by the support of listeners like you!
