Supreme Court Edition, Chatrie v. United States: Can police use cellphone location data to catch suspects? May 23, 2026

Show notes

Police in Richmond, Virginia, had no leads after an armed bank robbery in 2019, so they got a “geofence” warrant — a novel type of warrant that allowed them to request Google location data from all devices that had been near the bank around the time of the crime. That data helped authorities identify Okello Chatrie, whom they arrested and charged in federal court. But Chatrie argues that the geofence warrant violated his Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. Host Laura Jarrett speaks with the ACLU’s Nathan Freed Wessler, who won the precedent-setting case Carpenter v. United States about whether the police’s use of digital dragnets is consistent with the Fourth Amendment.

Reilly breaks down why police officers involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Democratic lawmakers and even some members of the GOP are pushing back against the Department of Justice’s new $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund — and what it would mean for tax audits of President Donald Trump, his family and his businesses.

Supreme Court Edition, West Virginia v. BPJ, Little vs. Hecox: Who gets to play school sports? May 16, 2026

Show notes

Transgender student athletes are challenging laws in West Virginia and Idaho that prevent them from competing on girls’ teams in school sports. The courts of appeals in each district have sided with the student athletes, but Supreme Court watchers agree that the justices are likely to uphold the bans. Former ACLU national legal director David Cole argued Bostock vs. Clayton County (2020), in which a 6-3 majority of justices established transgender people as a protected class under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination. Here’s the Scoop Supreme Court Edition Host Laura Jarrett talks to Cole about his client Aimee Stephens, who was fired from her job after she came out as transgender. He explains how he won over conservative justices on the high court, and why the stakes are different for the transgender athletes in these cases.
