What Fresh Hell Will the Supreme Court Bring This Term?

Buckle up—the Supreme Court is back, and so is a new season of Boom! Lawyered.

Your favorite legal journalists Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy bring you everything you need to know about the new Supreme Court term and how the cases on the docket will represent the biggest step forward for the white evangelical movement in modern history.

As Imani says in the episode, by the end of summer 2023, we could be looking at a world where business owners can discriminate against LGBTQ folks, tribal sovereignty is destroyed, and Black and brown voters experience even more voter suppression than they already do.

“It’s bananas to me to think that we’re previewing a term that’s poised to be worse than one that overruled Roe v. Wade, that erased from history 50 years of constitutional law precedent—but here we are,” Jess says.
