Weighing in on recent U.S. Supreme Court cases

SDPB

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

David Wiltse, Ph.D., and Lisa Hager, Ph.D., are associate professors of political science at South Dakota State University. They dove into recent Supreme Court rulings in a conversation with In the Moment's Lori Walsh.

First, they look at the 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis case. The Supreme Court said their ruling protected First Amendment freedoms by deciding a website designer couldn't be forced by anti-discrimination laws to serve same-sex couples.

The case was based on a hypothetical.

Our Junkies next took a look at the cases that overturned affirmative action while also still allowing redistricting to take race into account.
