WTH is Going On with Roe v. Wade? John Yoo Explains the Supreme Court Leak

Last week we saw the first leak in Supreme Court
history – a draft opinion that reversed
the landmark Roe v Wade ruling of 1973 and shot the topic of
abortion back into the headlines. Former Supreme Court clerk John
Yoo joins Dany and Marc again to discuss the legal implications
of overturning Roe v Wade, the reasoning behind the leak, and the
options before the nation’s voters as they weigh the prospective
ruling. Is Roe good law? Does it matter? And do the American
people care that issues before the highest court in the land and
the nomination of justices have taken on the “character of a
political campaign.” 


These questions and more on this week’s episode with guest John
Yoo. Yoo is a former clerk for Supreme
Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He is currently the
Emmanuel Heller professor of law at the University of California,
Berkeley school of law. He is a scholar at both the American
Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution.
