Supreme Court Brief

Episode Description from the Publisher

On this week's episode, Jimmy breaks down Wednesday's decision in Louisiana v. Callais delivering a major blow to Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. In an ideologically split-6-3 ruling, the court largely prohibited states from intentionally boosting minority voting representation through the redistricting process. The decision led to a forceful dissent from liberal Justice Elena Kagan, who said the majority had set back a half-century of gains in minority representation in government.   Also this week, Jimmy interviews Stanford Law Professor Orin Kerr about Monday's hearing in a cutting-edge Fourth Amendment case involving so-called "geofence warrants."     Host: Jimmy Hoover   Guest: Orin Kerr   Producer: Charles Garnar
