U.S. Supreme Court Term Review with ACLU’s David Cole (PODCAST)

The U.S. Supreme Court handed down the final two opinions of the term in argued cases, in contentious disputes involving voting rights and charity-donor disclosure.

Progressives largely bemoaned both rulings, which fell 6-3 along ideological lines in the conservative-majority court. But the ACLU’s David Cole explained that, in his view, only the voting-rights ruling was wrong.

Cole, the group’s national director who argued and won a school-speech case this term on behalf of a cursing cheerleader, joined Bloomberg Law’s “Cases and Controversies” podcast hosts Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin to review the 2020-21 term.

He expressed optimism at the court’s rulings that crossed ideological lines in a handful of cases, though it remains to be seen whether that continues next term, which starts in October.
