U.S. Supreme Court End-of-Term Cases - beyond Roe

The U.S. Supreme Court has ended its 2021-2022 term with several more blockbusters in addition to the Dobbs case (reversing Roe v. Wade). You can hear about one of two cases eroding the barrier between church and state on NPR here (3 min. 51 sec. transcript available) and hear about the influence of the Christian right here (6 min. 42 sec.).  You can find a story about the decision eroding the power of administrative agencies to fight climate change here (4 min. 58 sec. transcript available). The end of the piece presents a voting rights case the Court has just agreed to hear next term which law professor Rick Hasen describes as potentially an earthquake in American election law.
