‘Cases and Controversies’ PODCAST: SCOTUS Heads into Overtime

July 2, 2020, 11:55 PM UTC

For the first time since Chief Justice John Roberts took the helm in 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court is going into overtime—that is, going beyond the final week in June to issue all of its decisions in argued cases.

The justices were able to clear their decks of five cases this week, in which the chief justice took a starring role. From his swing vote in a Louisiana abortion case to his vote in favor of a unitary executive, Bloomberg Law’s Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin break it all down in this episode of the “Cases and Controversies” podcast.

Hogan Lovells’ Cate Stetson joins the podcast to discuss Roberts’ not-so-surprising votes and what it means for the future of the court.

Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin

Guest: Cate Stetson

Producer: David Schultz
