Strict Scrutiny on the Supreme Court’s Student Debt Relief and Gay Rights Decisions Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

The Supreme Court ended its term today with a double whammy, issuing opinions in the 303 Creative case and the student debt relief cases. In the former, the majority creates “a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class.” And in the latter, the majority invalidates the Biden administration’s student debt relief program because, well, they had feelings about it. We're bringing you the latest bonus pod on these cases from Strict Scrutiny.

Hosted by three badass constitutional law professors – Leah Litman, Kate Shaw, and Melissa Murray – Strict Scrutiny provides in-depth, accessible, and irreverent analysis of the Supreme Court and its cases, culture, and personalities. New episodes out every Monday… plus bonuses whenever SCOTUS takes away another one of our rights.
