What do the Supreme Court's decisions this term mean for democracy? This Wednesday, July 9, at 3 p.m. ET, I’m joining Cecillia Wang, the ACLU’s National Legal Director, and University of Baltimore Law Professor Kim Wehle for a virtual discussion, moderated by the Brennan Center’s Alicia Bannon, about the most important Supreme Court decisions from the term that just ended and the state of the Court. You’re invited to join us!

This is a pivotal moment for the Court. The president is determined to break through the constitutional limits of executive power, and the Court’s public approval hovers near all-time lows, in large part because they’ve refused to confront their own internal ethics issues. Even though the Court is technically on its summer break, there are more cases pending on the shadow docket that we’re likely to see decisions in.
Last term, the justices handed down rulings in key cases that will affect millions of people’s lives, including access to healthcare, education, and political representation, as well as Casa, the case we’ve been discussing here on Civil Discourse, that stripped the federal district courts of their power to issue nationwide injunctions. Join us on Wednesday for a virtual conversation about the Court’s decisions this term and what they mean for the rule of law at a time when democracy is under strain.
Whether you follow the Court closely or are looking to understand its role in our system of checks and balances, this discussion will be interesting and provide essential context for how the Court is working today. I hope you’ll be there.
We’re in this together,
Joyce
