Steady Habits: A CT Mirror Podcast
News:Politics
This is a big week for the US Supreme Court. A very long term comes to an end. It was conducted under unusual circumstances because of coronavirus, it tackled some of the most important cultural and workplace issues of our times, and it featured a court that has President Donald Trump’s imprint all over it.
Now, depending on when you’re listening to this podcast, it may have already wrapped up, with the final decisions coming down on Thursday morning.
Earlier this week, we talked with one of the most knowledgeable court watchers around — Linda Greenhouse, the long-time NY Times reporter, and current Supreme Court columnist. She joined us for a “Steady Habits” special event on Tuesday night with a few hundred Mirror readers listening in on Zoom, and asking their own questions.
Our conversation came one day before a pair of 7-2 decisions, expanding the rights of religious organizations to limit contraception coverage and other workplace protections to workers.
Both of these cases — and others we talk about are part of what she calls the “project” of the John Roberts-led court. An opening up of both the public square and public dollars to religion.
But despite those victories for conservatives, Linda Greenhouse has been watching closely how The Chief Justice sided with liberals on the court in three major decisions about LGBT rights, immigration and abortion.
