The big Supreme Court rulings have finally arrived! On today’s podcast, David and Sarah discuss two unexpected majorities in California v. Texas, which upheld the constitutionality of Obamacare (again!), and Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, which unanimously protected the religious liberty of Catholic Social Services after the city of Philadelphia excluded CSS from its foster parent program for refusing to certify same-sex couples as foster parents. Our hosts analyze how the Supreme Court denied standing to the states challenging the ACA and then dive into two spicy opinions from Alito. Plus, some “palace intrigue” discussion about whether Alito was denied his chance to write a majority opinion.
Show Notes:
My favorite legal podcast, bar none.
Your always excellent Supreme Court coverage exposes how simplistic and results based normal reporting is, with outlets across the spectrum only wondering "did we win or not?"
Also, Progressives only see the court as a way to bestow legitimacy on progressive causes, which is why they are completely confounded when justices have their own interpretation and legal philosophies other than a simplistic "which president appointed me?" standard.
