Cruelty Steers the New Supreme Court Docket

October 15, 2019

It’s not only Trump who is pushing cruelty. Since right wing Republicans have very successfully gained control over the third branch of government, the judicial branch, we should expect to see many examples of cruelty dictating decisions by the Supreme Court. John Roberts may be the chief justice, but it is really Kavanaugh and Gorsuch  driving the court as the new session begins. On this show Elie Mystal, executive editor of Above the Law, a website that covers the legal industry. Mystal who has written editorials for many newspapers on the topic of law, goes through the new docket. The majority will be aggressively pro-death, against gun safety laws, anti-choice, against LGBTQ rights and will be quite willing to upset established precedent. Buckle in.
