What are the biggest Supreme Court cases to watch in the upcoming term?
Strict Scrutiny is brought to you by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Guess what, folks? It's back to school season. And this year, 5 million children across Texas are going to be greeted by, wait for it, the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. Texas politicians passed a law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom, forcing their religion on every kid in those schools. 28 families in Texas, supported by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, are taking the fight to the Supreme Court. And we need you to amplify their voices before the Supreme Court gets its hands on this case.
They're going to go up, but we're going to fight to get them taken down.
That was Texas public school parent Ted Lowe. Ted and Rebecca Lowe are an interfaith couple. Ted is Jewish and Rebecca is Christian. And their kids are in Texas public schools. The story that they tell in this video is moving. And we hope that everyone hears it and shares it. Because there is a human cost to Christian nationalist policies. like these Ten Commandments laws and the decisions that the Supreme Court hands down. You can visit au.org forward slash 10C to learn more about this case and how you can help join the fight to protect church-state separation.
I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, I think it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com. Good morning.
Don't you want to have breakfast? What? Where is everyone?
It's an old joke, but when a man argues against two beautiful ladies like this, they're going to have the last word. She spoke not elegantly, but with unmistakable clarity. She said, I ask no favor for my sex.
Hello and welcome back to Strict Scrutiny, your podcast about the Supreme Court and the legal culture that surrounds it. We're your hosts. I'm Leah Littman. I'm Kate
Shaw. And I'm Melissa Murray. And yes, folks, the band is back together. It is a new Supreme Court term, which means that we need to be operating on all cylinders to brace for what might be coming down the pike. So with all of the justices back to their regularly scheduled positions, SCOTUS maxing, we have decided that we will respond in kind with a little strict scrutiny post-maxing.
When you said firing on all cylinders, for some reason I was just brought to mind. Somebody recently told me that our show reminds them of, did you guys ever listen to the NPR show Car Talk? The, like, brothers who would, like, just banter. And then she
was
like, no, no, I mean because you have such great chemistry. I was like, okay, I think it was meant as a compliment. So, anyway, I passed that along. Little did they know we were post-mogging
and
pod-mogging
each
other right before we started recording. Right before, but critically not in the actual publicly released version of the episode, so... But yes, we are back together. We are very excited to be back together. And we are not excited about the fact that we are staring down the barrel of a new Supreme Court term. But since we are, we thought we would provide some table setting, just some big picture thoughts about where we are and what we're looking for in the upcoming term. We're not going to really do a detailed rundown of particular cases, although we will reference some notable ones. But obviously, as We get closer to the arguments in those cases. We will do deep dives on all of those. After we do that table setting, we're going to bring you conversations with two people who can speak to the real effects of some of the legal matters that we will be discussing.
So Melissa will talk with Aaron Haynes about attacks on the press and censorship, and Leah will speak to Mahmoud Khalil about immigration detention. Okay, on to SCOTUS. Its term starts next week. Deep breaths. Who wants to start?
