Erik Jaffe Discusses Supreme Court Leaker, Previews Major Supreme Court Cases

​Erik Jaffe, policy director of Protect The 1st, drawing on his experience with more than 100 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, reacts to the leaking of the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, and gives a preview of major cases in coming weeks. He discusses:

• The chances of the Supreme Court leaker being caught and the counterintuitive impact the leak might have on the final opinion.

 

• The implications of the Court’s opinion in favor of protecting religious speech in Shurtleff v. Boston, as well as the case of the “praying coach.”

 

• Predictions on Carson v. Makin, which involves discrimination against religious schools in Maine.

 

• How a pending case on California’s regulation of pork producers reveals the potential for the culture wars between red states and blue states to create competing legal regimes across the nation.
