SCOTUS & Masks: Everything You Didn't Know You Wanted to Know
The Supreme Court had a short but busy week, issuing orders on the Texas abortion law and Donald Trump’s attempt to keep records from the Jan. 6 commission, while hearing arguments and also issuing rare public statements on mask-wearing at the high court. Cases and Controversies podcast hosts Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin recap the “Maskgate” controversy that stemmed from an NPR report on Justice Gorsuch's alleged refusal to wear a mask during oral arguments. They also talk to Josh McDaniel, director of Harvard Law’s religious freedom clinic. The clinic filed a brief supporting the prisoner seeking resentencing in Concepcion v. United States, argued Jan. 19. Topics discussed in this episode: Masks & the justices--00:40 In re Whole Woman's Health--9:41 Trump v. Thompson--16:20 Concepcion v.
