2022 Supreme Court Review: How the Court Dismantled Democracy

On The Issues With Michele Goodwin

After a Supreme Court term unlike any other in nearly a century, confidence in what was once a revered body has sunk to a historic low. Only 25 percent of Americans report having confidence in the United States Supreme Court.

In this episode we are joined by a sold-out, live studio audience at the Irvine Barclay Theatre to capture the 2022 Supreme Court Term in Review. Our host, Dr. Michele Goodwin, along with leading national experts, explore critical rulings from this term, including: Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned 49-year-old federal abortion protections established in Roe v. Wade; New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which struck down a 111-year-old state protection requiring gun owners to show “proper cause” for concealed carry licenses; West Virginia v. EPA, which ruled the agency has no executive jurisdiction to regulate certain greenhouse gas emissions; and more.
Joining Dr. Goodwin were special guests:

• Aziza Ahmed, professor of law, Boston University School of Law

• Erwin Chemerinsky, dean, Berkeley Law

• Mary Anne Franks, professor of law and Michael R. Klein distinguished scholar chair, University of Miami School of Law; author, The Cult of the Constitution

• Regina Mahone, The Nation

• Mark Joseph Stern, Slate Magazine

• Mary Ziegler, professor of law, UC Davis School of Law

and a special guest appearance by H. Adam Harris.
