SCOTUS, Callais, and What's Next for Voting Rights and Other Civil Rights (with Madiba Dennie)
Season 1
Episode 88
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
What does the Callais decision mean for voting rights and other anti-discrimination protections in the United States? How is anybody supposed to defend their rights against race-based discrimination if they're not allowed to use disparate impact as proof? Catch the discriminators confessing on a voice recording carrot pen, "Zootopia"-style? Bust out the mind-reading machine? We ask Madiba Dennie, author of The Originalism Trap, to explain it, and to help us figure out what to do now.
