  • Biden Supreme Court Case Flips Possible if Trump Wins

    Biden Supreme Court Case Flips Possible if Trump Wins
    Nov 1 2024
    Donald Trump is likely to flip Biden administration positions in disputes at the US Supreme Court over certain health-care treatments for transgender minors and federal regulations for build-at-home “ghost guns” should he win the White House. “These changes in position are not frequent, but we do see them every four years,” said Thomas Wolf, director of democracy initiatives at the Brennan Center for Justice. Wolf joins “Cases and Controversies” hosts Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler to talk about when the government has flipped positions in the past and what could happen to current cases that could be targeted this term by a Trump administration. Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler. Guest: Thomas Wolf, Brennan Center for Justice. Producer: Mo Barrow. Do you have feedback on this episode of Cases & Controversies?

  • Is a Bush v. Gore Sequel Possible This Year?

    Is a Bush v. Gore Sequel Possible This Year?
    Oct 25 2024
    The US Supreme Court is less likely to be the deciding factor in the tight presidential election absent a game-changing dispute in a single state as was the case in 24 years ago when the election went to the justices in Bush v. Gore. Notre Dame law professor Derek Muller joins Cases and Controversies to explain what states and courts are doing to try to avoid such a situation ahead of Nov. 5, and get his take on what would make high court intervention unlikely and what scenario might trigger a review.

  • Injury Divides Supreme Court in Lawsuit Over CBD Oil

    Injury Divides Supreme Court in Lawsuit Over CBD Oil
    Oct 18 2024
    A truck driver consumed CBD oil, failed a drug test, and was fired from his job, but can he sue the companies that make the product for three times his lost wages? That was the question before the Supreme Court in a case that tests the scope of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, a federal law otherwise known as RICO that was designed to fight organized crime. RICO is a criminal law, but it allows people to bring a civil suit to get three times their damages and attorneys’ fees if their "business or property" is hurt by a criminal enterprise. The manufacturers of the CBD product say the truck driver in this case suffered a personal injury not an injury to his business or property and can't sue them under the law. Cases and Controversies hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler look at the arguments and try to figure out where the justices might come down on this dispute.
