Leah Litman: SCOTUS Debrief Part 2

In this 2nd part of our Supreme Court debrief installment, with University of Michigan Law Professor Leah Litman, we discuss the DACA case, in which the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration’s rescission of the Obama DACA program because it was “arbitrary and capricious.” We also discuss Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, also known as the Contraceptive Coverage case. We finally take a broader look at where the Roberts court stands on a crucial issue for America’s future in the 2020 election and beyond: voting rights.

Professor Litman teaches and writes about constitutional law, federal post-conviction review, and federal sentencing at the University of Michigan Law School. In addition, she is one of the co-hosts and creators of Strict Scrutiny, a podcast about that examines the U.S. Supreme Court and other legal decisions. Professor Litman was also part of the litigation team in Garcia v. United States, one of the challenges to Trump’s rescission of the DACA program and was on the brief for Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt.
