Where States Rights’ Meet Equal Protection

Описание: Welcome to another edition of Amicus: A Law Review with Jim Santelle. It has been a legal whirlwind of a week, and Jim Santelle breaks down a controversial week at the Supreme Court for you across the airwaves. The Justices upheld a Tennessee law banning medical treatments for transgender youth, sparking fierce debate on equal protection and states' rights. Justice Roberts leaned on legislative deference, while Sonia Sotomayor's dissent warned against abandoning judicial review.






Meanwhile, the court also navigated environmental jurisdiction in cases about nuclear waste and refinery exemptions, deciding which courts should tackle these thorny issues. As new cases loom on abortion clinic subpoenas and WWII oil production, the legal landscape is anything but settled, so be sure to tune in for next week's edition of Amicus for more friendly break downs of the legal news of the week.
