Episode Details

On this episode of Unprecedented, Michael Popok and Dina Sayegh Doll discuss the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which critics argue further weakens the Voting Rights Act and could reshape representation for Black voters across the South. They also break down the Court’s emergency intervention in the latest battle over the abortion pill mifepristone, after Justice Samuel Alito temporarily restored nationwide access to the medication by mail and telehealth while challenges from Louisiana move forward. In addition, they examine the escalating legal fight over Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll, including the Justice Department’s latest effort to intervene as Trump continues trying to overturn the civil verdicts against him. And as Chief Justice John Roberts publicly insists the Supreme Court is not made up of “political actors,” the episode explores the growing scrutiny surrounding the Court’s public posture, including Justice Neil Gorsuch’s recent media appearances on Fox News.
